In the field of learning disabilities, the delineation of teacher competencies lacks consensus among professionals. The purpose of this review is to identify competency statements specified in the professional literature for teachers of learning disabled students. A thorough literature search of the past 20 years resulted in 16 competency statements in five areas: general and special knowledge, planning and evaluation, curriculum content, clinical teaching strategies, and behavior management. The implications of these competencies are discussed.
