All participants were asked to complete the attributive style questionnaire and resiliency questionnaire. Data Analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including means، standard deviations، multivariate analysis of variance، Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The result of the data analysis showed that regarding inner – outer attributions، temporary – stable attribution، total - special attribution، and resiliency، students suffering from learning disabilities and blindness are significantly different from the normal students. In this regard، students have more pessimistic attributional style and less resiliency in comparison to the normal students.
