dc.description.abstractAdolescents with learning disabilities (LDs) face significant challenges that affect their self-esteem, academic engagement, and social and emotional well-being. These challenges stem largely from systemic barriers, such as poor pedagogical design that fail to accommodate diverse learning needs, lack of educator knowledge and training, and difficulties in social support. This capstone investigates the intricate relationship between self-esteem and academic engagement in adolescents with LDs. It explores how self-esteem impact academic engagement of adolescents with LDs, as well as their psychosocial and emotional development. A school-based group counseling program is proposed to address the academic, social, and emotional needs of adolescents with LDs, aiming to increase both their self-esteem and academic engagement.
