The aim of this study is to review intervention studies published between 2008-2017 related to science education to students with specific learning disabilities. In accordance with this aim, studies in the literature were reviewed by the descriptive method. The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey National Academic Network and Information Center (TUBITAK ULAKBIM), EbscoHost, SAGE, Springer Link, Science Direct and ProQuest databases were searched and 20 articles were obtained. During the search procedure, the following keywords were used: "learning disability", "teaching science", "learning disable", "science classroom" and "intervention". According to the research methods of the studies, quantitative methods were used in 18 studies while one study utilized a qualitative method and one study used a mixed method. The findings of this study show that studies on teaching science to students with learning disabilities are usually conducted in foreign countries, and there is no intervention study in Turkey.
