Abstract: Objective: To study the potential usefulness of a supporting program for the caregivers of students with learning disabilities. Methods: This is quasi-experimental research in elementary school students with learning disabilities and their caregivers. The participants were selected by the random stratification sampling and allocated to either experimental and control, with 30 pairs per group. The experimental group received a family support program, while the control group received the usual care. Both groups were followed for seven weeks. The instruments used were the potential caregiver assessments, students learning ability index and the program for the caregivers' potential. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, and t-test. Results: The mean score of knowledge and behaviours in caregivers after using the program in the experimental group and control group were significantly different (p < 0.001). The mean scores of knowledge was 7.47; SD = 1.61 and 3.80; SD = 1.65 and behavior was 24.38; SD = 2.25, and 15.60; SD = 2.76) respectively. The mean score for the learning ability of students after seven weeks of using the program on reading, writing, and calculation was 26.30; SD = 3.65, 27.30; SD = 4.98 and 28.20; SD = 4.75 respectively while in the control group, the mean scores of reading, writing, and calculating were 18.43; SD = 3.11, 17.30; SD = 3.16, and 17.33; SD = 2.32 respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions: The program to support the family carers' showed potential usefulness in homes with students with learning disabilities. This study suggested that this program may help to improve reading, writing, and calculation skills in this group of students.
