Learning disability
A learning disability can be categorised in a neurological disorder. I basically believe that it is not a disease or brain issue, it’s just something else. Children with Learning disability are as normal as other children but they may find difficulty in academic activities like reading, writing, and spelling, logic, recalling, and remembering if left to figure things out by them or if taught in conventional ways.
Common learning disabilities
Dyslexia – It is a language-based disability that involves a child who faces difficulty in understanding in which a person has trouble understanding words hence can be termed as reading disability
Dyscalculia – It is a mathematical-based disability that involves trouble in solving arithmetic problems and grabbing mathematics theories.

Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders – it is a sensory-based disabilities that involves complexity in understanding language in spite of normal hearing and vision.
Non-verbal Learning Disabilities – It is a neurological-based disorder that start off in the right part of the brain, leading to issues like visual-spatial, intuitive, organizational, evaluative and holistic processing functions.
