Abstract
A screening programme was carried out among school-going children in A
I-Ain, United Arab Emirates (UAE), to identify children with learning
disorders. During the course of one academic year, 34 such children we
re identified. The cause was considered preventable in around half of
the cases. In a third of cases with a genetic cause, prevention was po
ssible with existing knowledge and practice.
