Children with learning disabilities can have disorders that impact how they learn and acquire new skills. Learning disabilities are caused by impairments in the central nervous system that make it difficult for children to read, write, do math problems, understand language, or develop motor skills. There are several types of learning disabilities including dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, dysphasia/aphasia, auditory processing disorder, and visual processing disorder that each affect different areas of learning.
