This study aimed at assessing the reality of special education centers management in the light of the learning organization approach through the perspective of its staff and recognizing the effect of some variables in the responses of the sample’s members. To realize this purpose, the descriptive approach was used through collecting and analyzing the data of this problem by using a scale to assess the reality of special education centers management after being developed by the two researchers and divided into four domains.The sample consisted of (177) workers in special education centers: (52) administrators and (125) teachers. The results indicated that the private education centers management practices the domains of the learning organization with high estimation level as the first rank was taken by the domain of organizational structure flexibility and the domain of work teams. The third rank was occupied by the domain of knowledge management while the domain of sustained education took the fourth rank. The results also revealed the absence of statistically significant effect for the responses of the sample’s members due to the impact of gender variable, the presence of an effect of the work capacity for the work capacity variable in favor of the administrators, the presence of an effect for the years of experience variable in favor of the category of experience for more than 10 years and the presence of an effect of the academic qualification variable in favor of post graduate studies.
