What is a learning disability?

A learning disability is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to receive, process, and store information. This can make it difficult for individuals with learning disabilities to learn and perform certain tasks, such as reading, writing, math, and spelling. Learning disabilities are not linked to intelligence and they are not contagious. With proper diagnosis and early intervention, individuals with learning disabilities can develop strategies to learn and manage their conditions, leading to better educational, personal, and professional outcomes.
