The study sample consisted of (48) resource room teachers who were chosen purposefully. The findings indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the degree of using modern technological means attributed to the scientific qualification variable, and there were statistically significant differences attributed to the variable practical experience and in favour of the variable "experience category" (10 years and more). The results showed that the obstacles to using modern technology in all fields were of a (moderate) degree. The study recommends enhancing the use of technological means in teaching students with learning disabilities in resource rooms and finding effective solutions for the obstacles that hinder the use of these methods.
