Article Excerpts about Learning disabilities
LD 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. These limitations can show up in many ways--as specific
difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self-control,
or attention. Such difficulties extend to schoolwork and can impede
learning to read or write, or to do math.
