ABSTRACT:
\n<\/strong>Learning disability is a disorder of the basic physiological processes involved in using or understanding language written or spoken which manifest itself in imperfect ability to listen, speak, read, write, spell or do mathematical calculations.<\/p>\n

KEYWORDS: <\/strong>Learning disabilities, homoeopathy, impaired memory<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION:
\n<\/strong>A learning disability (LD) is a neurobiological disorder that presents as a serious difficulty with reading, arithmetic, and\/ or written expression that is unexpected for the individual\u2019s intellectual ability.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

The learning problems significantly interfere with academic achievement or activities of daily living that require reading, mathematical or writing skills. Besides the integral difficulty in learning, it is seen that the family, school, sociocultural milieu and education play a significant influence in the ultimate outcome of learning in children, It includes Dyslexia, dysgraphia and Dyscalculia.<\/p>\n

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th edition (DSM-5) labels this group of disorders as specific learning disorder with impairment in reading, or with impairment in written expression, or with impairment in mathematics.<\/p>\n

PREVALENCE:
\n<\/strong>The prevalence of LD depends upon the definition and varies from study to study. Dyslexia is perhaps the most common neurobehavioral disorder affecting children, with prevalence 5\u201317.5%. Prevalence rates for reading disorder are estimated at 4% of school-age children, with a range of 2\u201310. International epidemiological studies report a prevalence of 4\u201317% for dyslexia, 2\u20138% for dysorthography and 1\u20135% for dyscalculia.<\/p>\n

Facilities Available for Children with Learning Disability:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children evaluated fully and diagnosed as learning disabled by a registered psychologist can avail of many facilities. The psychologist has to make the recommendations suitable for the child and these recommendations are then forwarded to the relevant board of education through the school. Many educational boards recognize the difficulties faced by these children and are sympathetic to their plight.<\/p>\n
