Abstract

Introduction: Learning difficulties (LDs) are challenges that impact the brain's capacity to comprehend, process, assess, or retain information. These issues hinder children's ability to learn at a pace comparable to those unaffected by LDs, and these children do not fit into other disability categories. Materials and method: The research employed a descriptive study design and was carried out at a chosen primary school. The population included learning difficulty students. The total population size is 50. Non-Probability sampling technique was used for recruiting samples for the study.

Results: The study's results indicate that the highest average score for dysgraphia is 1.3, with a median of 1 and a standard deviation of 0.48305. Similarly, dyscalculia also recorded a maximum mean of 1.3, a median of 1, and a standard deviation of 0.48305.

Conclusion: Present study conclude that specific learning difficulties are present in students which are having significance with their demographic variables.
