Learning disability is a classification that includes several
areas of functioning in which a person has difficulty learning
in a typical manner, usually caused by an unknown factor or
factors.

5. Definition
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
(psychologist, pediatrician, etc.).

6. Definition
Individuals with learning disabilities can face unique
challenges that are often pervasive throughout the lifespan.
Depending on the type and severity of the disability,
interventions and current technologies may be used to help
the individual learn strategies that will foster future success.
Some interventions can be quite simplistic, while others are
intricate and complex.
