Learning disabilities (LDs) affect the way a person learns, remembers, understands and expresses information. They affect specific areas of function and come in many forms with differing levels of severity.

LDs interfere in obtaining and using important skills such as: Oral Language, Reading, Written Language, and Mathematics.

Learning Disabilities are a neurological and a lifelong condition that affect people with otherwise average or above average intelligence. However, the effects of LDs may be expressed differently over time based on the individual and the demands of their environments.

For a comprehensive list of common signs of learning disabilities broken down by age, please refer to this page on the ldao.ca website.
