Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect how a person learns and processes information. They are not a reflection of intelligence or motivation, but rather a difference in how the brain functions. While learning disabilities are often diagnosed during childhood, they can also remain undiagnosed until adulthood.
Learning disability, learning disorder, or learning difficulty is a condition in the brain that causes difficulties comprehending or processing information and can be caused by several different factors. A learning disability is not a problem with intelligence or motivation and people with learning disabilities aren’t lazy or dumb. Their brains are simply wired differently and this difference affects how they receive and process information.
This can lead to trouble with learning new information and skills, and putting them to use. The most common types of learning disabilities involve problems with reading, writing, math, reasoning, listening, and speaking.
