Quite contrary to popular perception, the problem of disability is not confined to being handicap alone. The problem can affect mentally and intellectually too. In simple words there can be a possibility of learning disabilities as well. Let's shed some light on what learning disabilities is all about and what all are its various types.

Talking about learning disabilities, it is essential to understand that such disability problem usually occurs in young children. One of the most common learning disabilities gripping many children is dyslexia. This disability is neurological in nature and usually poses problems like spelling errors, poor alphabets recognition, difficulty in pronunciation and many more.


Another common learning disability issue in children is CAPD. Better known as central auditory processing disorder, this disorder is responsible for creating confusion in the mind of children. Though the child can hear everything well, the information is not decoded in the right manner by the brain. The child hears you say the right thing, but the brain interprets it to be something different.

Similar on the lines of CAPD, is another disorder commonly known as the visual processing disorders. In this child can see everything clearly, but the information gets juggled up when the brain interprets it. This can hamper the educational teachings of the child to a great extent.

Dyscalculia is another common learning disability in children.  This type of disability comes with problems like finding it difficult to develop an understanding of the mathematical concepts. If a child is suffering from this disability, he/she is unable to perform even the most basic of arithmetic and mathematical calculations.

Yet another very commonplace learning disability plaguing many children is autism.  Put in simple words this learning disability adversely impacts the ability of the child to communicate both on the verbal and non verbal levels. The child finds it difficult to interact with people around. In addition children find it difficult to change easily in life. Moreover they tend to repeat the same thing again and again.

So, now that you are all aware of the learning disabilities and their causes, you are in a better position to deal with the situation effectively.
