Background Examining the impact of motor impairments on learning disorders reveals a delicate relationship that significantly affects the educational experiences of children. Since motor impairment is often associated with challenges in controlling and coordinating physical movements, and learning disorders involve problems in sensory-motor integration, sensory input coherence, and coordination, this connection has gained considerable attention. Clinical studies have highlighted observable deficiencies in motor skills in children with learning disorders, indicating significantly weaker performance in both static and dynamic motor skills compared to typically developing children. Longitudinal investigations in children with motor development delays suggest cognitive and learning difficulties increasing in older children compared to healthy younger ones. Aim Considering that movement plays a crucial role in learning among children, and the purpose of this mini review is to examine the relationship between motor impairments and learning disorders in children. Materials and Methods A comprehensive literature search using the keywords \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"learning, learning disability, movement, and motor impairment,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" was carried out using PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases without time restrictions until January 2024. To detect supplementary relevant literature, the references of the included articles were examined. Results The search strategy of this review yielded 23 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. All studies indicated that they performed below average on various standardized motor assessment instruments. Results indicated that significant relationships between motor impairments and learning disorders. Children with learning disorders exhibit weaker motor skills . Studies suggesting motor interventions also showed that physical activity and exercise training interventions have been able to prevent or diminish the symptoms of learning disorders in children. Conclusion Overall, these findings support the current hypothesis that there is a strong relationship between motor impairment and learning disorders. It has also been highlighted the important role of physical exercises and an active lifestyle which can be utilized as effective therapeutic technique for alleviating symptoms of learning disorders. Future research should focus on the implementing of physical activity/exercise active-based cognitive training programs examining the sustainability of improvements compared to other cognitive behavioral therapies, and the degree of improvements compared to other neuro developmental disorders.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"
