Learning disability is a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in the imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. Learning disability does not include learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage. These children have needs just like any other child and in addition have a specific need but we do not have systems to deal with these specific needs thus turning them into disabilities. In government policies this disability has no place, i.e., it is not recognized as disability and hence no benefits for the sufferers. Learning disability becomes evident when child enters an educational institution which practices uniform structures of instruction and evaluation but sometimes it is underestimated under the ground that child is lazy, not interested in studies etc. Parents are not accepting this hard truth and at the same time lack of quality researches due to lack of support from organization, parents etc. In absence of research the necessary focus which this disability should get in policy making and intervention are not present. Social acceptance is also lacking. We are using majority of assessment and recommendations given by foreign researches. How much they are suitable in Indian context is of great question.Keywords

The present study was an attempt to find association between emotional maturity and perceived stress among 17 to 19 years old adolescents. The total sample for the present study consisted of 100 adolescents from different colleges of Ludhiana city. Emotional Maturity Scale developed by Singh and Bhargava (2012) was used to assess levels of emotional maturity of the adolescents. Perceived Stress Scale developed by Cohen et al. (1993) was used to assess stressful feelings and thoughts of the respondents. Findings revealed that 82 per cent of the adolescents had high emotional maturity whereas, level of perceived stress was found to be low among 60 per cent of adolescents. The association between emotional maturity and perceived stress was found to be significant but negatively associated therefore, adolescents with higher emotional maturity were found to be low in stress. The results emphasized the role of emotional maturity in reducing stress among adolescents.Keywords
