In Phase I, screening of children was done by the teachers using a specially designed Child Behavioral Questionnaire (CBQ) comprising of demographic details, behavioral, attention parameters and academic scores. The students with lower scores in behavioral, attention parameters and academics were recruited for phase II study. In phase II, the students were assessed for learning disability individually by using Learning Disability Evaluation Scale (LDES) – Renormed which consists of questionnaire for assessment of specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia.
