Educators’ Perception on Learning Disabilities in Students: A Study from Madhya Pradesh

Learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can significantly impact a student`s ability to learn and succeed in school (American Psychiatric Association, 2015). Despite their prevalence, there is often a lack of understanding and knowledge about these conditions among educators. This lack of awareness can result in misdiagnosis, inappropriate interventions, and a lack of support for students with learning disabilities, leading to academic and behavioral challenges. This study highlights the importance of addressing the varying levels of awareness among educators regarding learning disabilities. It emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, such as professional development opportunities, collaboration among educators, and policy changes, to improve awareness and understanding.
