,
, Learning disability (LD) is a general term that describes
specific kinds of learning problems. A learning disability

writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and doing math.

learning problems as another person with LD. One
person may have trouble with reading and writing.
Another person with LD may have problems
understanding math. Still another person may have
trouble in each of these areas, as well as with
understanding what people are saying (National
