Dear Prateek If CBSE does not have any laid down proofs to be furnished for the Dyslexia, then I believe a certificate from a competent Psychiatrist would do the job. In fact, even though it is not specifically mentioned in PWD act, it would fall under the category of mental illness mentioned therein. However, I am not aware whether medical boards constituted for certifying the disability do issue any certificate for dyslexia..

Hello experts, Recently I've been contacted by an organization for the persons with Dyslexia who was so concerned regarding the disability certifickets for Dyslexic persons. As we kno that the person with Dyslexia gets some concessions in education and other sectors along with other persons with disabilities, one would obviously require the disability certificket to present in front of competent authorities in order to avail the concessions. In the case described by this organization, the students who are in their 10th an 12th standards are wanting to avail the facilities of extra time, scribes etc. which are available for them as per the CBSE rules. The problem is, that the children wishing to avail these facilities do not have their disability certificket because there's no medical panel designated who can certify the Dyslexia as a disability. Here, the important point to consider is that Dyslexia is not mentioned amongst the types of disabilities in persons with disabilities act 1995 even. In such a scenario, can someone please clarify what proofs should a person with dyslexia needs to obtain in order to make him/her sele eligible for availing the consessions and extra facilities? Interestingly, CBSE does provide facilities of scribes and extra time etc to dyslexic children, but does not explicitly clarify the proofs that have to be presented in order to avail the benefits. i've been trying to get this clarified by CBSE itself, but unfortunately, I've not been able to get any response from them merely apart from predefined automated emails. A help in this regards will be highly solicited. Regards, Prateek agarwal. Managing director, Daedal technovations pvt.
