Abstract	Aim: The current study tested the comparative efficacy of various strategies on basic mathematical skills of learning disabled children. Methods: Learning disabled children were randomly assigned to multimedia, cognitive, eclectic and control conditions. Assessment included the use of IQ, Diagnostic Test of Learning Disability, and Pre and post-test administration of the Children with Specific Learning Disabilities in Arithmetic scale. Results: All the tested strategies significantly enhanced basic mathematical skills of learning disabled children. Conclusions: Multimedia, cognitive strategy and eclectic approach can be used for enhancing the mathematical skills of learning disabled children. (Contains 2 tables.) (As Provided).
