Learning disability refers to a neurological difference that affects how a person processes information related to reading, writing, mathematics, or other academic skills. Learning disabilities are not related to intelligence but reflect differences in how the brain receives, organises, or expresses information. Students with learning disabilities may require specialised instruction, accommodations, or assistive technology in order to demonstrate their knowledge effectively. With appropriate supports, many students with learning disabilities are able to succeed academically and develop strong skills in other areas.
