Learning disorders are based on difficulties in reading,
writing, and/or math. Someone with a disability may have the intelligence to
learn as much as others, but it may take more time and support to reach their
potential. They can be life-long challenges, not only in high school and
college, but also in the workplace. Learning disabilities are
neurological-based processing problems. Learning problems are not necessarily
learning disabilities. Problems due to learning can be due to physical
handicap, emotional issues, or due to their environmental and cultural
backgrounds. There are several specific learning disabilities that fall
under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). There are other
specific learning disabilities, such as Auditory Processing Disorder,
Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, Non-Verbal Learning disabilities, and Visual
Perceptual/visual Motor Deficit. You can find more information on these
specific disorders at Learning Disabilities Association of America.
