Specific Learning Disability

SLDs, such as dyslexia (reading and spelling disabilities), dysgraphia (writing impairments), and dyscalculia (math-related struggles), affect how the brain processes information. These challenges are not related to intelligence but rather differences in cognitive functions like memory, attention, and processing speed. Students with SLDs may struggle with reading fluency, comprehension, written expression, or numerical reasoning. With early identification, tailored teaching strategies, assistive technology, and appropriate accommodations such as extra time for tests or alternative assessment formats, students with SLDs can thrive academically and reach their full potential.
