METHODOLOGY A Randomized Controlled Trial included 30 learning disabled-children, diagnosed by Psychologist on the standardized criteria, divided into Group-A (n=15) and B (n=15) where Group-A performed Sensory Integration while B performed Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for 4 weeks. Data was collected at baseline and post the intervention on Behavioral Problem Scale and Conner's Teacher Rating Scale respectively. RESULTS Both the groups showed significant results (p<0.05), however Group-A showed marked reduction in BPS in comparison to B while CTRS was observed with slight greater improvement in Group-B than A. CONCLUSION It was concluded that sensory integration is as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy in improving behavioral problems of learning-disabled children.
