Majority of the questionnaires and inventories are mainly screen whether the child has learning disability or the type of learning disability such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, or nonverbal learning disabilities.

To establish content validity and reliability 600 students ranging from 7 years to 20 years were chosen by random sampling method. Based on the mean and standard deviation, the norms were established. As a result, the questionnaire can be used to measure the level of learning disability of students from 7 to 20 years.
