Results: The bibliographic search yielded 450 research articles drawn from 196 national and international journals of Indian origin and 29 book titles on the topic of learning disability and/or its equivalents covering themes related to their nature-characteristic (N: 184; 40.89%), therapy-intervention (N: 115; 25.56%), causes-correlates (N: 57; 12.67%), screening-assessment-identification (N: 52; 11.56 %), and epidemiology-prevalence (N: 42; 9
.33%). A decade wise timeline analysis shows an increasing trend in the quantum of publications on learning disability by almost four times from the base years of <=1990s to the contemporary period, along with corresponding shift in the increased use of the term 'learning disability' in preference for other older terms (p:<0.05).
Conclusion:On the whole, there seems to be much unused information available about learning disabilities in the country, which now lies widely scattered.
Limitations & Recommendation: Although no claim is made that the bibliographic listing is all inclusive, it is recommended that the first step is tohave an information gathering mechanism, creation of a dynamic repository, or archival system with retrieval systems in place for prospective researchers on a subject matter of great importance within the country.
