Learning Disability

A neurological condition that affects the brain's ability to receive, process, store, respond to, or communicate information. Learning disabilities include dyslexia (reading), dyscalculia (mathematics), dysgraphia (writing), and other specific processing difficulties. Learning disabilities are distinct from intellectual disabilities in that they affect specific skill areas rather than overall intellectual functioning. People with learning disabilities may have average or above-average intelligence while experiencing significant difficulty with particular academic tasks, including reading.
