Abstract
The study aims to give an essay type theoretical background about the perspectives and knowledge of the Learning disability. The study initialized by addressing the conception and discovery of Learning disability. It brings to our knowledge that the Learning disability is still misinterpreted, unapproved, misdiagnosed and mishandled. A sadder part is parents and teachers still struggle to notice the presence of disorders of learning disability in the child therefore they need a simplistic and convenient benchmark to know its existence. They need to have certain instructions to deal with academic difficulties and behavioural issues which arise out of the different disorders of Learning Disability: Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia and Dyspraxia. In this context to understand and not to misjudge or label the child, there is a need to educate oneself through various organizations and meet ups with professionals of the field. Thus the current study has suggested some useful guidelines to identify the characteristics, common errors, direction for management and remediation of the Learning disability. On the whole people seem to be oblivious to such an Invisible disability. Also the study has analyzed the importance of teamwork around the Child with Learning disability which transforms into an optimistic circle thereby passing guidance and solutions to each other.

Summary
Achild with learning disability struggles with brain's inability to receive process, store, respond and communicate information. According IDEA (2004) a specific learning disability (SLD) is defined as A disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in the imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. One must exclude several conditions which do not distinguish a child having learning disability such as low level of Intelligence (I.Q.) , severe sensory and motor impairment (such as Visual Impairment, Hearing Impairment, handicapped, Cerebral Palsy), emotional and social problems as well as children from different backgrounds and situations who could be a first learner of their family. Pointers to keep in mind: 1. Developmental aspects: Experts working upon the diagnosis must get case history of the developmental aspects and academics mental age, Achievement age, and his social and behavioural activities age appropriate
