Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are neurological conditions that affect a person’s ability


to process information and perform specific academic tasks, such as reading,
writing, or math. These difficulties are not related to intelligence or effort, but
are caused by differences in how the brain processes information. Common
types of learning disabilities include dyslexia (difficulty with reading),
dyscalculia (difficulty with math), and dysgraphia (difficulty with writing).

People with learning disabilities often have normal or above-average


intelligence but struggle to meet academic expectations due to these
challenges. Early identification and appropriate support, such as specialized
teaching strategies and accommodations, are essential for helping
individuals with learning disabilities succeed in school and beyond.

trouble staying focused on tasks, following instructions, or sitting still for long
periods of time.
