Understanding Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities stem from neurological differences that affect how the brain processes information. These challenges can disrupt the acquisition of fundamental skills like reading, writing, and math. Additionally, they may hinder more complex abilities such as: 

  • 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.
  • Dysgraphia.
  • Auditory and visual processing disorders.
  • Nonverbal learning disabilities.
