The study aimed to identify the role of sustainable development in supporting the education of students with disabilities from the viewpoint of special education teachers and pre-service teachers. The sample consisted of 42 teachers and 35 pre-service teachers. The researchers used a survey about the role of sustainable development in supporting learning of students with learning disabilities, which consisted of 40 items divided into four domains. The results showed that sustainable development plays a big role in supporting education of students with disabilities from the point of view of both their teachers and pre-service teachers. There were no statistically significant differences in the special education teachers’ responses regarding teaching experience, age, and academic degree. There was a statistically significant difference due to the academic specialization for pre-service teacher teachers in favor of intellectual disabilities. Also, there was a statistically significant difference in the responses of teachers for the benefit of the pre-service teacher. Keywords: Sustainable development, students with disabilities, special education teachers, pre-service teachers
