Learning Disability Information A learning disability (LD) is
neurological condition that affects a person's ability to store,
process, and/or relay information. It may show up as problems
with reading, writing, spelling, math skills, listening, memory,
speaking, physical coordination, social skills, self-control or
other. A person can have problems in more than one area but can
also function normally or above-average in many other areas.
Functioning can also be inconsistent, meaning “normal” sometimes
and greatly below average at other times. Generally, individuals
with learning disabilities are average to above average
intelligence. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are not technically
considered learning disabilities but can impact learning and
often people with learning disabilities also have ADD or ADHD.
