MUMBAI,INDIA: Global learning solutions provider, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) announced on Saturday that it would host their third annual conference on learning disability - the Tata Interactive Learning Disability Forum (TLDF) - on November 29 in Mumbai and December 2, 2008 in Kolkata.

The disability forum was conducted in association with the Lokmanya Tilak municipal general (LTMG) hospital that houses the first LD certification clinic in Maharashtra, India, said a press release.

The TLDF 2006 and 2007 aimed at increasing awareness about LD and bringing people together to encourage, enable and empower students with special education needs.

The 2008 forum would be working towards accelerating the pace of research to gain a deeper understanding of the cause, and promoting concrete remedial action, it added.

J.C. Mistry, who spearheads, TIS' LD initiatives, "Over the years, our association with the LTMG Hospital has been on multiple levels. TIS' LD activities center around creating leverage points for each progressive step: starting with people, to the creation of software, the development of books, annual events and now, material for schools and changes in syllabi."

He added that as an outcome of TIS' initiatives, in 2007 alone, 924 LD children have received certification and 225 new schools have registered for LD certification, with a total of 4300 students and 654 schools so far. In addition, LD has now been made a part of the MBBS syllabus in Maharashtra.

Mistry commented, " Some of the topics to be discussed this year include the neuro-psychological basis of LD, a case study on supporting children with LD and using drama to enhance life skills in children with specific learning difficulties."
