DESCRIPTION:

Behavioral Checklist Screening for Learning Disability is a 30-item self-report first-level screening tool that is filled in by the teacher for the assessment and determination for identification of a Learning Disabled child in a classroom. It was developed by Smriti Swarup and Dharmishta H. Mehta in 2011. The B.C.S.L.D. attempts to integrate all aspects of learning, i.e. the ability to process visual and auditory information, memory, comprehension, thinking, psychomotor skills, self-image, and motivation. Eight subscales, each representing a deficit in a particular ability, give us insight into the mental make-up, attempting to explain the reason for the child's under-achievement.
