Although the issues of Learning Disabilities (LD) and students with LD have been studied extensively outside of Vietnam, this is a new concept in Vietnam. In order to learn something about students with LD who are current enrolled in primary schools, the academic skills of 2893 students who are from grade 1 to 5 were investigated and the data were statistically analysed. The results showed that 3.84 percent of primary school students have LD, male students with LD (5.35 percent) being more than female (2.17 percent). Most of these children had difficulties doing calculations and reasoning, with their specific learning difficulties more obvious after grade 3rd. Students with LD tended to have a number of specific
difficulties which were in more than one area of scholastic attainment. These results imply that more attention should be given to students with LD primary schools in Vietnam.
