Learning disabilities can be a hard matter to come by. With so many assumptions made about them and made about people who have them, the truth can go unnoticed. Here are 5 facts about learning disabilities:
1. Disorders dealing with a person’s attention span, (ADD, ADHD) most often occur at the same time. Although this happens, the 2 disorders are completely different.
2. Approximately 80% of learning disabilities have to do with basic reading and language skills.
3. According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 15% of the U.S. population (1 in 7 Americans) personally deals with a learning disability.
4. Learning disabilities most often run in the family.
5. Learning disabilities are completely different from mental disorders, autism, physical disorder such as deafness and blindness, and behavioral disorders.
