Abstract
Cognitive deficits resulting in poor scholastic performance are common among children with specific learning disabilities. Current study was carried out to identify areas of deficits leading to poor academic performance followed by a home based remediation program for rehabilitation of impaired skills. Single case study method was opted and assessment of academic skills was done using NIMHANS Index for Specific Learning Disability (SLD). Assessment findings revealed significant impairment in scholastic skills and attention processes. Management of identified deficits was planned and weekly sittings of remediation were provided for six months. Monitoring of the rehabilitation package was done on every visit using charting method. Improvement in academic skills/ performance was seen in later sessions.
