Commonly known as learning disability, Specific Learning Disability (SLD) refers to “a substantial deficit in scholastic or academic skills that does not pervade all areas of learning but rather is limited to a particular aspect, such as reading or arithmetic difficulty” (American Psychological Association).
The common SLDs are Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia. Other SLDs include Auditory or Processing Disorders (issues with interpretation of visual or auditory inputs), Language Processing Disorder (issues with making meaningful sounds), and Non-verbal Learning Disorder (issues with interpreting facial expressions and gestures).
