These difficulties are characterized by problems in language, attention, perception, memory, auditory perception, language, visual perception, fine and gross motor coordination. Comprehensive assessment and management by team of mental health professionals such as psychologist, occupational therapist, special educators, social workers, psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse in the afore said cognitive domains is of paramount importance. Learning disabilities have been recognized by the educationist as disabling conditions. But there are no provisions for addressing the psycho-social issues and mental health issues in parents and children arising out of SLD. Hence, School Mental health programmes are essential to address the lacunae. Provision of comprehensive school mental health programme and special education/remedial education service would go long way in the outcome of intervening learning disability and the co-morbid conditions associated with it.

Recent study by Ministry of Women and Child Development in 13 states of India reveals that 53.22% of Indian children experience one or more form of sexual abuse. 50% sexual offenders were known persons and were in positions of trust (family member, close relative, friend or neighbour) (Loveleen et al 2007). Parents and teachers are responsible for protecting children from sexual abuse. But, due to the growing financial need, both the parents are working, irrespective of their standard of living. It results in lack of personal time for their kids to educate/ create awareness on various social and personal issues. They don’t even find time to meet together at home or in a common place due to their work pressure. Though they teach safety during travel, safeguarding their belongings, they seldom discuss about safeguarding their bodies. One reason could be that they themselves may not know how to te...
