Recently, as concerns about the deepening educational gap have increased due to the COVID-19, diverse learning support for students with learning difficulties was being attempted. In order to establish a more comprehensive support system to meet their special educational needs(SEN), it is necessary to identify who are they and how to screen them out firstly. In addition, the author examined how the labeling and screening criteria of learning disabilities have changed under the influence of the paradigm of shifting to social model which highlights the SEN. The purpose of this study is to provide reference materials for expanding the definition of learning disability in Korea and refine the screening and identification methods. Also, the authors intended to provide implications for establishing an educational support system that can meet the SEN of people with learning disabilities. Therefore, the authors examined who was the subject of the study and how they were identified during 2010 to 2021 in international journals which specialized in learning disabilities, and also analyzed the pattern of changing trend. In conclusion, countries that advanced in special education, including the United States, have established a non-categorical educational support system through enactment of laws to support students who have SEN. In line with this new international paradigm, we demand the reform of the law and education support system in Korea.
