The purpose of this study was to explore the blog contents that documented varying information on learning disabilities(LD) or students with LD. As the field of LD in special education is relatively new to Korean people, there is great possibility of people\'s lack of shared knowledge about LD and students with LD. Furthermore, the lack of shared knowledge and responsibility of non-experts of students with LD would be possible future barriers when improving the field of LD in Korea. Considering that currently many Korean people get knowledge from web, particularly from blogs, blog content analysis would be valuable to catch current Korean people\'s level of knowledge and common misconception of LD and students with LD. To meet this purpose, this study analyzed the 118 blog contents from 52 blogs. This study focused on the concept, causes, characteristics, and identification of students with LD. The results of this study indicated that the information on blogs primarily provided richer information of concept and characteristics of students with LD. On the contrary, the information of identification of students with LD was limited. In addition, there were information that were not scientifically validated or not comprehensive. This study suggested that there is need for providing web-service(or blogs) that provides more comprehensive and correct information based on more reliable resources.
