Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs) in Children
Some children who struggle with learning may have something called a “specific learning disorder.” You may have heard of terms such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia – these are all examples of learning disorders. Specific learning disorders typically impact how children understand, process, organize, and use information, and they can range from mild to severe. Recent research suggests that around 1 in every 59 children has a learning disorder, with dyslexia being the most common.
