IPS Specific Learning Disorder (s): An Indian Perspective

IPS has taken the initiative to publish a book dedicated to Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs) which cause “hidden disability” in a large number of children. SLD is often unrecognized and underdiagnosed leading to children facing the enormity of academic stress, low self-esteem, avoidance of peer interactions, interpersonal conflict with parents, anxiety about examinations, and depression.

Key Features :

• The book delves into the practical issues related to SLD encountered in the Indian context thereby filling the lacuna of such a resource in India.
• The chapters included in this book cover a wide array of topics addressing history, definitions, assessments, challenges in evaluation, parenting, interventions, etc.
• Every chapter in the book covers the art and science of the related topics penned down by the expert contributors.
