Learning Disabilities

A learning disability is a disorder that affects people's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. This section provides a wealth of information about learning disabilities, the most common of which is dyslexia — difficulty with language and reading. Be sure to also visit our sister site LD OnLine, the leading website on learning disabilities for parents, teachers, and other professionals.
