Specific Learning Disability
A Specific Learning Disability (SLD) is a neurological condition that affects a person's ability to learn in specific areas, such as reading, writing, or math. Individuals with SLD may struggle with tasks that require these skills despite having average or above-average intelligence. Common types of SLD include dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.
SLDs are not indicative of a person's overall intelligence or capability. They can be identified through assessments and evaluations conducted by professionals, such as educational psychologists. Early intervention and tailored educational strategies can help individuals with SLD succeed in their learning environments.
