🔹️Specific learning disorder (often referred to as learning disorder or learning disability) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins during school-age, although may not be recognized until adulthood.
🔸️Learning disabilities refers to ongoing problems in one of three areas, reading, writing and math, which are foundational to one’s ability to learn.
🔹️An estimated 5 to 15 percent of school-age children struggle with a learning disability.
🔸️An estimated 80 percent of those with learning disorders have reading disorder in particular (commonly referred to as dyslexia).
🔹️One-third of people with learning disabilities are estimated to also have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
🔸️Other specific skills that may be impacted include the ability to put thoughts into written words, spelling, reading comprehension, math calculation and math problem solving.
🔹️Difficulties with these skills may cause problems in learning subjects such as history, math, science and social studies and may impact everyday activities.
🔸️Learning disorders, if not recognized and managed, can cause problems throughout a person’s life beyond having lower academic achievement.
🔹️These problems include increased risk of greater psychological distress, poorer overall mental health, unemployment/under-employment and dropping out of school.
