A two-way analysis of variance test was used to analyze the research questions. Research findings indicate that attributing the stressful social and academic conditions of students with learning disabilities can enhance their ability to adapt to the challenges that impact their academic and social future, thereby increasing their level of cognitive flexibility. The results also indicate statistically significant differences in cognitive flexibility levels due to gender.
