The purpose of this work is to develop an understanding of the language learning process of the disabled person. The significant role of an educational institution for language learning skills and communication skills is addressed based on a questionnaire survey. Children without Autism start learning a language from the very first day of their birth. But children with disabilities find it challenging to learn a language. Language learning is not impossible for disabled people if they get support from their families and get a supportive environment. The study demonstrated the language learning of disabled people in Bangladesh. This study also determines the learners' interest in language learning, the parent's & society's attitude towards learners, and the limitation of disabled learners' education. The scope also covers the context to find out some recommendations for the disabled learner. The researcher has collected data by nonparticipant observation and questionnaire survey. The analysis of data represents the present rate of disabled language learners. The result shows that the learners are much conscious about language learning and communication skill. The teachers are very much concerned about their learners. Besides, they give a chance to the learners to show their extracurricular activities. The outcome addressed that the educational institution provided a satisfactory platform for the learners however the facilities are needed to be improved.
