The research studies have been analysed to note whether behavior disorder children experience learning disabilities. Number of research quoted in this article highlight externalizing behavior disorder and internalizing behavior disorder of children with learning disabilities. The studies reviewed in this paper form a base to conclude that behavior disorder children experience learning disabilities to greater extent and hence this paper concludes that while planning intervention programme for children with behavior disorder one has to take care for their learning disabilities also. This article will be an eye opener for the professionals to develop effective educational programme which incorporate strategies for learning disabilities and for the behavior disorder intervention.
