Learning disability is a condition that interferes with a person’s ability to store, process or produce information. People with this, learn differently and can lead a happy and successful life if it is treated properly. A quasi experimental study one group pretest- posttest research design was adopted to detect the level of knowledge and effect of workshop on knowledge regarding learning disabilities. The sample selected for this study from beneficiaries were nursing faculties and staff nurses. Total 50 samples were selected for this study by convenient sampling technique. The sessions were devoted to theoretical aspects by various experts and practical session by simulation. Knowledge of the subjects were assessed by self structured questionnaire before and immediately after workshop. Knowledge level determined based on median value.
