The program consisted of 22 sessions and was based on modeling techniques. In this study the researcher used Live modeling, concurrent modeling, story modeling, imaginative modeling, and picture modeling. The study results showed the effectiveness of modeling techniques to improve self-regulation skills of female pupils with learning disabilities. It was recommended that curricula, courses and activities be developed to include adequate opportunities to train students on self-regulation skills in the early stages of education, because of their relationship and positive impact on academic performance, In addition, educating teachers, supervisors and specialists should be aware to provide appropriate opportunities to develop students' self-regulation skills through various other activities.
