What Is a Learning Disability?
A learning disability is a neurological difference that affects how a person takes in, processes, stores, or expresses information. It has nothing to do with intelligence — individuals with learning disabilities are just as smart as their peers but may struggle with traditional learning methods.
These challenges can affect
- Reading (Dyslexia)
- Writing (Dysgraphia)
- Math (Dyscalculia)
- Attention and focus (often co-occurring with ADHD)
- Processing speed and memory
The Role of Vision in Learning
Many children with learning difficulties also have undiagnosed visual skill problems, such as poor eye tracking, focusing, or visual memory. These are not detected in a basic eye exam but can significantly affect
Reading fluency and comprehension
Attention during schoolwork
Copying from the board
Understanding math concepts
Writing and organizing thoughts
