Wechsler Intelligence Test and MykelBust Learning Disorder Questionnaire and Language Capacity Questionnaire were administered for the subjects. The results of regression analysis showed that the correlation between language difficulties and learning disorders of students was significant (P<0. 01). The results also showed that the correlation between factors of learning disabilities and language disorders of sample was significant (P<0. 05)، but this correlation between communication and learning disabilities was not statistically significant (P>0. 05). The results of this study support the claim that correlation between language disorders and learning disabilities is high but it is not certain and stable that is the persons who have a low or moderate language development; they will have been low learning capacity. In addition، the persons who have a high language development; they will have been high learning capacity.

Because of this significant correlation that shows the common factors between them، parents must attend to evolution of language the child. The most important finding from these analyses is that for learning، maturity of language is necessity and for education of language and learning، it must have been special programs and parents and educators must use democratic method for education of language the children.
