Fourty seven students were selected although available sampling. The normal group, too, was consisted of 60students They were chosen from some schools to be compared with the experimental group. To collect data, “Neff’s self compassion scale (long form)” and “school wellbeing questionnaires” (Breso, Salanova, and Schaufeli’s academic burnout questionnaires, student engagement questionnaire by salmela-aro et al., and school value assessment by Niemivirta) have been used and were analyzed using MANOVA The results of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that mean scores of normal students in self-compassion variable (except in isolation and self-judgment) and academic well-being (except academic burnout) were significantly less than students in learning disorder You had more (p <0.05). but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the human component and extreme equalization (p <0.05).
