The study was conducted on the high school students of Diphu Sadar Sub-Division of the Karbi Anglong District of Assam. Initially, 524 secondary students of 9th and 10th grade were randomly selected. By the Group Intelligence Test of Ahuja, 361 students were found with an Average and Above Average level of IQ. To investigate the presence of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), the Learning Disability Battery (LDB-Battery) of Bhargava and Bharadwaj was administered on 361 students. Results of the study reveal that SLD in reading (Dyslexia), writing (Dysgraphia), and arithmetic (Dyscalculia) significantly exists among secondary students of the Karbi Anglong District of Assam.
