Actually I am doing a case study on dyslexic children. while doing a case study what are the things should I have to consider? what are the things should be included in case study?
If I understand you correctly, you have done a case study with one child and you want to know if that would be publishable. That would clearly depend on how interesting that case would be to your potential audience. In particular, if you are working in a clinical field, it would not be unusual to write about a single class.
Alternatively, if you are working with multiple cases and want to do a systematic comparison across those cases, there is a very good book on this topic: Yin (2103) Case study research (5th ed.), Sage.
Dear Ganesh,
One child will be sufficiently reliable and valid since in case studies in-depth detailed analysis of certain event, individual or phenomenon is carried out .
The problem with a one S case study is this: dyslexia is not well-defined. Different children present different clusters of problems. At least you should have 3 children at the same developmental level to see if they make comparable errors or not.

Such a case study is publishable because it adds to existing body of knowledge. Case studies are defined as analyses of persons, events, decisions, periods, projects, policies, institutions, or other systems that are studied holistically by one or more method. The case that is the subject of the inquiry here is a dyslexic child and the result of this study should provide an analytical framework within which similar studies in future can be conducted and which the case should illuminate and explicate.
Thanks a lot for all your responses. I'm not working in a clinical settings. I am a research scholar and area of my research is about dyslexic children.
