Abstract
There are many children who look normal and behave normally but academically, they are not as good as their peers. They suffer from a lesser-known condition called learning disability (LD). Children spend most part of their learning hours in school with teachers, who are responsible for the integrated all round development of a child. Keeping all this in view a comparative study of awareness and attitude regarding learning disabilities of children was carried out among teachers working in selected private and Government schools of Ambala, Haryana. Objectives of the study were to assess and compare the awareness and attitude of private and government school teachers regarding learning disabilities of children. The study was also intended to determine the relationship between awareness and attitude scores of private and government school teachers regarding learning disabilities of children and to find the association of the levels of awareness and attitude of private and government school teachers regarding learning disabilities of children with selected personal variables. 120 subjects (60 form private schools and 60 from Government schools) were conveniently selected. The data related to awareness and attitude of teachers was assessed by their response to structured awareness questionnaire and 3- point attitude scale. There was no significant difference in awareness of private and government school teachers regarding learning disabilities of the children. Moreover, in both the private and Government schools, the teachers had the highest awareness deficit in the area of ‘role of teachers in management of learning disabilities’. There was a significant difference in attitude of private and government school teachers towards children suffering from learning disabilities. A low degree positive relationship was also found between awareness and attitude obtained by private and government school teachers regarding learning disabilities of children
