Abstract
In recent years, Indian schools have become more sensitive
to individual learning requirements, and teachers and
psychologists have started to look more closely at individual
learning trajectories. There have been attempts to explain
differences in learning and response to teaching in spite of
‘equal opportunities’. This explains why some schools have, on
their panels, psychologists who can help plan instruction for
individual needs. A lot has changed in recent years but much
more needs to be done. This article dwells on a little known
learning disability which affects around 5 percent of primary
school children in India, and 3% to 5% of the world
school population according to an Australian study.
This means 1 to 2 children per class of 40 students.
