ABSTRACT

Empirical evidence provides support for learning disabilities having a neurological impairment, but the affected children were still seen as “poor learners” rather than considering their condition as a real problem. A qualitative survey was conducted to understand the prevalent stigma, malpractices, lack of opportunities, and drawbacks of existing policies. The data was collected using a self-developed survey from eight random participants from culturally diverse regions of India. Thematic analysis findings suggest a substantial lack of awareness among the general population regarding different aspects of learning disabilities. Further, the factors that intensify the negative impact of learning disability, hindrance in early identification and proper management, and lack of facilities and policies were also discussed.
