Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia etc.)
Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 2,728 times
Consider the following statements regarding 'Learning Disabilities' and their specific characteristics in the context of Child Development and Pedagogy:
- 1. 'Dyslexia' is a reading-related disorder, causing affected children to often experience severe difficulty in recognizing words, letters, and sounds, reading, spelling, and reversing words (such as reading 'saw' as 'was').
- 2. 'Dysgraphia' is a writing-related disorder in which a child's handwriting is extremely poor, illegible, and irregular, and they face massive problems in holding a pencil, forming spellings, and expressing thoughts in written form.
- 3. 'Dyscalculia' is a reading or language-related disorder, under which children have difficulty pronouncing words and remembering long sentences, and it has no relation to mathematical calculations.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because 'Dyslexia' is a major learning disability related to reading, in which children face obstacles in reading the alphabet, sounds, and words.
Statement 2 is correct because 'Dysgraphia' is a disorder related to writing, which indicates poor handwriting and spelling-related problems.
Statement 3 is incorrect because 'Dyscalculia' is a mathematical disability in which children have difficulty understanding numbers, calculating, and learning mathematical concepts, rather than being a reading or language disorder.

With reference to Inclusive Education, consider the following statements regarding the key provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPWD Act, 2016) and the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020): 1. Under the RPWD Act, 2016, the types of disabilities have been increased from the previous 7 to 21, and 'Specific Learning Disabilities' (such as dyslexia) have also been officially included under the category of disability. 2. The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) provides that the option of special residential or non-residential schools for children with severe disabilities will be completely phased out, and it will be mandatory for them to study exclusively in general schools. 3. NEP 2020 places special emphasis on the establishment of 'Resource Centres' at all levels of school education, special training for teachers, standardization of Indian Sign Language (ISL), and the development of barrier-free infrastructure in schools. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
