What is ld?

LD (Learning Disabilities) refer to a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to understand or use spoken or written language, do mathematical calculations, coordinate movements, or direct attention. These disorders are often referred to as learning differences or learning difficulties.

LD can affect individuals differently and may impact various aspects of their lives, such as academic achievement, daily activities, and social interactions. Common types of LD include dyslexia (difficulty with reading), dysgraphia (difficulty with writing), dyscalculia (difficulty with math), and ADHD (difficulty with attention and hyperactivity).

It is important to note that LD is not related to intelligence. Individuals with LD can have average or above-average intelligence, but they may struggle with certain tasks due to difficulties processing information or organizing thoughts.

Early detection and interventions can help individuals with LD overcome challenges and develop strategies to succeed in school and in daily life. Accommodations, specialized instruction, assistive technology, and support from teachers, parents, and healthcare professionals can make a significant difference in the lives of individuals with LD.
