Learning Disability

• Definition: A learning disability is a disorder that affects a person’s ability to either interpret what is seen and heard or to link information from different parts of the brain. These limitations can show up in many ways - as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self-control, or attention. Such difficulties extend to school work and can impede learning to read or write or do math.
