You know your child is bright, but he’s struggling to keep up at school.

The teachers say he’s just not trying, he’s daydreaming, or just not doing his work. He spends hours each night on homework, and still brings home Cs, Ds, and Fs.

Is it a learning disability? Could it be?

Wikipedia says: “In the United States and Canada, the terms learning disability, learning disabilities, and learning disorders (LD) refer to a group of disorders that affect a broad range of academic and functional skills including the ability to speak, listen, read, write, spell, reason and organize information.

A learning disability is not indicative of low intelligence. Indeed, research indicates that some people with learning disabilities may have average or above-average intelligence. Causes of learning disabilities include a deficit in the brain that affects the processing of information.”

According to The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) approximately 5% of children enrolled in public school in the United States have some form of learning disability.
