A learning disability, also referred to clinically as a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), is a learning disorder in which an individual experiences difficulty with receiving, processing, and/or communicating information. Individuals with SLDs often have average or above average intelligence but have trouble processing information through typical learning methods because they see, hear, and understand things differently. SLDs can cause learning problems at school, hurt self-esteem, and may continue to have a snowball effect unless addressed early.
