Misconception about learning disability is still part of our mind while dealing with academic issues of the students.

Ms. Apoorva Panshikar was the main resource person, who demonstrated the widely used learning disability assessment tools such as the DTLD, DTRD, TTS and BCSLD. There were 129 participants who had come from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Prof. P.H. Lodhi, Kranti Shrivastav and Dr. Medha Deshpande inaugurated the workshop. Dr. Ramesh Pathare, the Head of the Dept. was the convener of this workshop.
