Abstract	Academic achievement in children with learning disabilities has traditionally been addressed through cognitive remediation and subject-specific instructional strategies. However, growing evidence suggests that such approaches alone are insufficient to support the holistic development of these children, who coexist with cognitive barriers. Children with learning disabilities frequently experience frustration, anxiety, low self-esteem, and social withdrawal, which negatively influence their academic engagement, motivation, and classroom participation. The present study aims to explore emotional intelligence as a transformative factor that bridges cognitive barriers and emotional strengths in children with learning disabilities. This study uses a library research method to systematically review and synthesize the body of knowledge on emotional intelligence and learning impairments using a qualitative descriptive design. The review looks at how children with learning difficulties' academic engagement, coping mechanisms, resilience, social competence, and classroom participation are impacted by different emotional intelligence levels; low, moderate, and high. Findings from the reviewed literature indicate that emotional intelligence acts as a mediating mechanism between cognitive difficulties and academic outcomes by enabling children to regulate negative emotions, sustain motivation, and build supportive relationships with peers and teachers. Overall, this study highlights the necessity of integrating emotional intelligence development into educational interventions and curriculum design to foster inclusive, supportive, and effective learning environments.
