Abstract The present study focuses on the identification and assessment of learning disabilities and their influence on the academic achievement of primary-level students. Learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia affect students’ reading, writing, and mathematical abilities, which may reduce their classroom performance and confidence.
The study was conducted at New Catholic Mission School using the descriptive survey method. The population consisted of 350 students studying in Classes I to V, out of which 68 students (19.43%) were identified with learning disabilities through assessment tools, classroom observation, teacher surveys, questionnaires, and academic records. Statistical techniques such as Mean, Standard Deviation, Percentage Analysis, and t-test were used for data analysis.
The findings revealed that students with learning disabilities showed lower academic achievement compared to non-LD students. Dysgraphia was the most common learning disability, followed by dyslexia and dyscalculia. Boys showed a higher prevalence of learning disabilities than girls. Mathematics was found to be the most difficult subject, while students performed comparatively better in English.
The study highlights the importance of early identification, proper assessment, remedial teaching, parental support, and inclusive classroom practices to improve academic achievement among students with learning disabilities. The findings may help teachers, parents, and educational institutions provide better support for children with learning difficulties.
