Learning disabilities

Learning disabilities are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that can significantly hamper a person’s ability to learn new things. As a result, the person may have trouble with tasks such as speaking, reading, writing, paying attention, understanding information, remembering things, performing mathematical calculations, or coordinating movements. Learning disabilities impact a person’s intellectual ability, and the barriers between them and their potential may take many forms. Learning difficulties can be overcome through changing learning styles, the presentation of information, or even giving people more time to understand and complete tasks than those without learning difficulties. People with learning disabilities require support from others and sometimes from equipment to overcome obstacles and communication issues that are between them and their learning. Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs) are neurodevelopmental conditions that affect a person’s ability to learn and use academic skills. Examples include dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. These disabilities affect different aspects of learning, such as reading, writing, and math. Learning disabilities can stem from a variety of biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Some of the most common possible causes include:
