Abstract
The social and emotional learning (SEL) framework is used by educators to foster social and emotional knowledge to increase the fundamental skills students need for daily life. Students with disabilities face social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. SEL attempts to systematically bridge the gaps through specialized instruction and interventions.This literature review summarizes research regarding the impact of social and emotional learning instruction for students who have special needs. A discussion about the focus of social and emotional learning in education precedes effective social and emotional learning interventions and the impact on academic performance highlighting the results for students with disabilities.
