Specific Learning Disorder
Specific Learning Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects an individual's ability to learn specific academic skills, such as reading, writing, or math. It is characterized by difficulties in processing information, which can lead to challenges in school and everyday tasks. This disorder is not due to a lack of intelligence or effort but is often identified when a person's academic performance is significantly below what is expected for their age and educational level.
Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by professionals, including psychologists and educators, who assess the individual's cognitive abilities and academic skills. Early intervention and tailored educational strategies can help individuals with Specific Learning Disorder improve their skills and achieve academic success.
