1. learning disability

   A learning disability refers to a neurological disorder that affects a person's ability to understand, process, and remember information. This often impacts their skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and performing mathematical operations. Learning disabilities are not indicative of intelligence levels but are lifelong conditions that may impact an individual's daily life activities. They are often identified in childhood once a clear gap is noticed between a person's potential and actual achievement.

1. Learning disability

   Learning disability is a classification including several areas of functioning in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner, usually caused by an unknown factor or factors. While learning disability, learning disorder and learning difficulty are often used interchangeably, they differ in many ways. Learning disability refers to significant learning problems in an academic area. These problems, however, are not enough to warrant an official diagnosis. Learning disorder, on the other hand, is an official clinical diagnosis, whereby the individual meets certain criteria, as determined by a professional The difference is in degree, frequency, and intensity of reported symptoms and problems, and thus the two should not be confused. When the term "learning disabilities" is used, it describes a group of disorders characterized by inadequate development of specific academic, language, and speech skills. Types of learning disabilities include reading disability, mathematics disability and writing disability. The unknown factor is the disorder that affects the brain's ability to receive and process information. This disorder can make it problematic for a person to learn as quickly or in the same way as someone who is not affected by a learning disability. People with a learning disability have trouble performing specific types of skills or completing tasks if left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways.

For these cosmetic reasons, it is a rather nice term to have around.
