Although there has not been an exhaustive study, the incidence of LD in India is likely at least between 10 and 12 per cent of the school going population. This roughly means that in a given Indian classroom there are at least four children with LD. Through this webinar we want to reiterate to educators, the various skills required for learning to happen.
This webinar explores questions on:
- The various disabilities listed under the PwD act
- SLD
- The skills required for learning and how deficits in these skills may manifest
- Specific strategies for working with the child in the classroom
