The study has two objectives with corresponding two research hypotheses. The study employed the use of quasi-experimental research design. The population of the study consists of twenty five (25) students with special needs. The students received training on self-monitoring skill training and the findings revealed that there was significant effect of self-monitoring skill training on learning achievement of students with special needs and there was no significant gender difference in self-monitoring skill training of students with special needs in Yobe state special education school Goniri. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that school counsellors should encourage and trained students with special needs on the effective usage of self-monitoring skill training.
