This study aimed to compare mental health and academic self-efficacy of students with learning disabilities who referred and did not refer to LD centers. This was a causalcomparative study conducted through participation of 53 students with learning disabilities (26 students who referred to LD centers and 27 students who did not refer to such centers), studying in fourth, fifth and sixth grades of elementary school in Zahedan, district 1 and 2, in the academic year 2013-2014. Data collection tools were GHQ-28 (Goldberg and Hillier, 1979) and Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire with 32-items (Owen and Froman, 1988). Reliability of these questionnaires was achieved using Cronbach alpha and the Pearson correlation coefficient which was 0.92 and 0.84, respectively. Data were analyzed using independent t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between mental health and academic self-efficacy of students with learning disabilities, such that those who referred to LD centers had higher mental health and academic self-efficacy, compared to the other group. According to these results, it was concluded that referring to LD centers improved learning disabilities symptoms and enhanced mental health and academic self-efficacy of students with learning disabilities.
