Specific Learning Disorders
Specific Learning Disorders are a group of conditions that affect an individual's ability to learn in specific areas, such as reading, writing, or math. These disorders can make it challenging for people to acquire and use academic skills, despite having average or above-average intelligence. Common types include dyslexia (reading difficulties), dysgraphia (writing difficulties), and dyscalculia (math difficulties).
These disorders are not due to a lack of effort or motivation; rather, they stem from differences in how the brain processes information. Early identification and intervention are crucial for helping individuals develop effective strategies to manage their learning challenges and succeed in educational settings.
