Abstract	Aim: To compare the occurrence of neurological soft signs (NSS) in children with specific developmental disorders of scholastic skills (SDDSS) and normal children. Methods: 36 cases of SDDSS were compared with 30 control children regarding sociodemographic and clinical variables and neurological soft signs. Results: Children with SDDSS had significantly more problems in graphaesthesia, motor task, face-hand and face-noise test, 2-point discrimination, maintenance of posture, and rhythmic movements. Conclusions: Children with SDDSS had more NSS in the form of impaired motor task, poorly developed cortical sensory perception and poor body and space concepts. However, the presence of co-morbid hyperkinetic disorder in a large number of SDDSS subjects might have confounded the result. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided).
