The aim of the present study is to explore the relationship between specific learning difficulty and different aspects of psychopathology in upper primary children. 90 children with learning difficulty were assessed on various dimensions of psychopathology and learning difficulty. The mean age of the participants was 11.39 with a standard deviation of 0.63. The tools included Developmental Psychopathology Checklist, the arithmetic section of the NIMHANS Battery for Specific Learning disorder and a teacher rated Visual Analogue Scale. Learning difficulty was found to be associated with developmental history, developmental problems, hyperkinesis, emotional disorders, psychotic behaviour, total psychopathology, psychosocial stressors and teacher reported problems. The study points to the need to address psychosocial concerns of children with learning difficulty.Keywords

The aim of the present study was to examine the efficacy of vedic mathematics training on children with specific learning difficulty. The mean age of the participants was 11.39 with a standard deviation of 0.63, and were divided into three groups. One group underwent training in Vedic Mathematics, the second group underwent conventional remediation for mathematics and the third group had sessions on general knowledge. The tools included Diagnostic Arithmetic Test (DAT) from the NIMHANS index of learning disability and a Visual Analogue Scale. One way Analysis of Variance showed that children who underwent Vedic Mathematics training and Remediation training performed significantly better on the DAT at post training assessment. The study points the option of including Vedic Mathematics Training in Schools to help children understand mathematics concepts better.Keywords
