Intervention based on training in pattern recognition in learning disability: A case study approach

The present paper reports three case studies of children with learning disabilities introducing a combined mode of intervention on pattern recognition along with behaviour therapy. The present intervention plan gave special emphasis on visual recognition training on letters, numbers and words. The module has been applied to three different individuals having different features of learning disability problem. The associated problem of emotional disturbances and low motivation was controlled by behavior modification. The intervention was given through 10 sessions (1 hour each). The data is analyzed by comparing the pre- post data quantitatively as well as qualitatively. The overall result shows that the present holistic approach of SLD intervention in computerized and paper pencil modes along with behavioural therapy is effective to improve the pattern recognition skill and reducing learning difficulty. Additionally, the module was helpful for management of emotional disturbances, motivation and self esteem.
