In the current decade, learning disabilities are recognized as
significant disturbance and hindrance in child’s academic and
overall development. Assessment of these disturbances is a
challenge for teachers, parents, and school counselors. This study
was designed to validate a screening tool Learning Disabilities
Checklist (National Center for Learning Disabilities, 2007) for
assessment of learning disabilities among children. Sample of the
study was 427 students from 6th to 10th grade. Participants were
recruited from four government schools of Lahore through
systematic random sampling technique. Initially, validation was
restricted to public sector schools as the structure of education
system at public school lacks mandatory administration of any
screening tool to asses these difficulties. Cronbach’s alpha
reliability and exploratory factor analysis indicated that this
checklist is valid screening tool of assessing learning disabilities
among girls and boys. Teachers and school authorities are
suggested to administer these kinds of screening tools to assess
childrens’ learning difficulties in order to improve their academic
functioning.
