Recognition and identification of learning disabilities is a daunting task in India due to the vast socio-linguistic diversity we see among the population, the pronounced socioeconomic disparities and many other schisms. Whether it's the sheer number of languages spoken or the cultures that thrive, whether it's the polarity between regions or the differences in ethos, the more diverse and therefore complex a society is the harder it becomes to assess and scrutinise intellectual activity objectively. That we are a developing nation that lives in various stages of industrialization and urbanization simultaneously, ranging from the archaic to the most cosmopolitan, the intellectual disposition of our society and least of all intellectual disability or learning disability to be precise cannot be narrowed down without taking into consideration many factors. Nevertheless, it is inevitable when it comes to research. The estimated prevalence rates of LD in India range widely between 2% and 19%. Considering this fact, a descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge of learning disabilities among mothers of under-five children at a selected panchayat, Thrissur. The study aimed to associate the knowledge of mothers of under- five children with the selected demographic variables. The samples were 60 mothers, selected through purposive sampling technique, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was collected using questionnaires regarding learning disabilities and demographic profiles. The setting of the study was Nadathara panchayat, Thrissur. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that all the subjects had various levels of knowledge. The results showed that the majority 45(75%) had moderate knowledge, 11(18.33%) had inadequate knowledge whereas 4(6.66%) had adequate knowledge. Analysis showed that there was an association between the level of knowledge of mothers of under-five children regarding learning disabilities and their selected demographic variables such as age of mother, type of family and type of delivery. This study concluded that the majority had moderate knowledge. The study helped the mothers acquire knowledge of learning disabilities through the information booklet that was distributed among the subjects.
