or Tourette&amp;amp;#39;s syndrome. ADHD is arguably among the most well known of these disorders. It can cause children to have trouble focusing, sitting still or to behave in manners that are disruptive.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Like other disorders, ADHD affects children in different ways. Not all children with this disorder may experience learning difficulties as a result.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;The Role of Other Disabilities&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Specific learning disabilities are not typically diagnosed when other primary disabling conditions such as &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/vision-screening-for-kids-2632287&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;15&amp;quot;&amp;gt;visual impairments,&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/what-is-a-hearing-impairment-2162133&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;16&amp;quot;&amp;gt;hearing impairments,&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; motor disabilities, mental retardation or &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/what-is-an-emotional-disturbance-disability-2162033&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;17&amp;quot;&amp;gt;emotional disturbances&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; are present. Further, students whose academic weaknesses are caused by environmental, cultural or economic disadvantage are not typically diagnosed with learning disabilities unless there is evidence the disability is not related to these factors and the child has received appropriate educational intervention.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Moving Forward&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you suspect your child has a learning disability, consult your child&amp;amp;#39;s teacher, school administrator, counselor or pediatrician to have the youngster &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/testing-for-learning-disabilities-2161888&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;18&amp;quot;&amp;gt;evaluated&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. By ordering tests for your child to take and reviewing a portfolio of the child&amp;amp;#39;s work, school faculty may be able to determine that a learning disability is present or to rule out the presence of such a disorder.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It&amp;amp;#39;s important to remember, however, that all children have strengths and weaknesses. Just because a child is weak in one area does not mean that she has a learning disorder. Moreover, all children develop at different paces. Children may not be as advanced in a certain area as their brothers or sisters were. This does not mean they have a learning disorder.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If a child does indeed have a learning disability, there&amp;amp;#39;s still hope. Consultations with the right professionals can help your child manage the disability, so it does not bring his academic progress to a halt. Many people with learning disorders go on to college, earn advanced degrees and become successful adults.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
