Learning Disorders:

« Back to Glossary Index

Learning disorders stem from neurological differences in the brain. Obstacles in reading, writing, organizing, recalling, or reasoning affect attention, social skills, or coordination. They’re usually discovered after a child starts school and experiences difficulty compared to age-level peers. These learning difficulties sometimes present as a gap between potential and achievement, since learning disorders don’t mean children lack academic motivation or intelligence. But their brains process and receive information differently.
