Understanding Learning Disabilities

- Organizing.
- Planning.
- Abstract thinking.
- Maintaining attention, along with affecting memory, both long and short-term.
Crucially, learning disabilities do not discriminate; they can impact individuals across all socio-economic statuses and ethnic backgrounds. Learning disabilities are often identified in children at school age but can go undiagnosed until adulthood. Common types include:
- Dyslexia.
- Dyscalculia.
