This study assessed the level of awareness of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs) among schoolteachers in Ethiopia. A descriptive quantitative research design was adopted with a survey method that used a questionnaire. Data were collected from a total of N = 305 schoolteachers (age: M = 24.8, SD = 7.4, range 18-55 years; Male = 150; Female = 155), in 40 public schools in 3 regional states and 2 city administrations. Findings showed that almost all schoolteachers studied demonstrated no knowledge of SLDs at all, with very few exhibiting profoundly poor level of knowledge. The teachers reported that they received no training on SLDs as part of their formal training or professional development programmes. The results call for evidence-informed measures to address issues of policy and practice related to SLDs in Ethiopia and reinforce the urgent need for improving awareness not only among educators and policymakers but also among parents and the general public.
