Environment influences the behaviour at different levels. These environments are included as
social settings, built environments and informational environments. Learning Disability is a
disorder in one or more of the fundamental psychological processes connected in
comprehending the use of language, spoken and written. Apart from genetic factors, learning
disability is influenced by various environmental factors. This study investigated the effect of
environmental influence on learning yoga to improve attention and concentration in learning
disabled children. This single blind randomized controlled trial was carried out among 55
children with learning abilities. The participants were divided into three groups, control group
with 12 participants, experimental group I (without modified environment) with 24 participants
and experimental group II (with modified environment) consisting of 19 participants.
Intervention training program was given for three weeks, with 15 sessions. Letter cancellation
test (1&2) and digit span test (Wechsler intelligence test) were used to measure the level of
attention problem and to measure the level of concentration. There was a significant difference
in attention and concentration for learning disabled children between pre and post scores in the
experimental groups for both letter cancellation test and digit span test (P<0.05). The role of yoga in a controlled environmental setting plays a significant role in nurturing the learning
abilities in children. This can be justified by incorporating yoga as a part of the school
curriculum.
