Impact of intervention on children with learning disabilities

Abstract

An interventional study was carried out on children with learning disabilities with children (ii) To administer an intervention module on identified sample. (iii) To assess the impact of intervention. A total of thirty seven children already identified with learning disabilities from the pre-primary schools of Rudrapur were studied. Planned intervention strategies were implemented on the weekly basis on each subject for three months regularly, after that post testing was conducted with the help of Behavioral checklist to evaluate the impact of intervention. Teachers and parents of these children were also interviewed periodically to assess the changes after intervention in children. Results revealed that dyslexia and dyscalculia were improved significantly (P<0.05) after intervention. It was also observed that boys reflected significant (P<0.05) improvement in learning disabilities after intervention. Results also revealed that children from nuclear families were improved significantly (P<0.05) after intervention. Measures used by parents and teachers to help children were mainly convincing, scolding, consoling and referring specialists observed after intervention. Therefore from the results of the study it can be concluded that learning disabilities can be improved significantly with intensive early intervention.
