Abstract :

Learning disabilities, also called learning difficulties, are conditions that make it difficult to learn and understand things in the same way others do. There are four types of verbal learning disabilities like reading, speech and language, writing and mathematical disabilities. Psychological determinant like education aspiration may be also affected in verbal learning disability. The study aims to study the correlation of verbal learning disability and educational aspiration among students of Kumaun region of Uttarakhand State. The sample for the present study comprised of total 400 students from upper primary government schools, 100 each from Haldwani,Bhimtal,Kashipur and Bazpur blocks were selected. A standardized questionnaire of Verbal Learning disability checklist by Vinod Sood and Level of Educational Aspiration Test by Yashmin Ghani Khan was used for measuring verbal learning disability and educational aspiration among students, respectively. It was found that verbal learning disability was negatively correlated with level of education aspiration.
