What is learning disorders?

Learning disorders are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect a person's ability to acquire, process, retain, or use information effectively. These disorders can impact a person's ability to read, write, do math, or understand and follow instructions. Common learning disorders include dyslexia, dyscalculia, and auditory processing disorder. These disorders are not related to intelligence, but rather to how the brain processes information. Individuals with learning disorders may require specialized educational interventions and support to help them succeed in school and other areas of life.
