Specific Learning Disabilities: The Changing Scenario

‘Specific Learning disabilities’ hasn’t always been a household term. We only began to discover the reasons for learning problems a little over a century ago, and in many countries people still have to understand the basic rights regarding equal opportunities and appropriate education. A learning disability, or learning disorder, is not a problem with intelligence. They are caused by a difference in the brain that affects how information is received, processed, or communicated. Children and adults with learning disabilities have trouble processing sensory information because they see, hear, and understand things differently.
