In Australia, it is likely that two to three children in each classroom will experience learning difficulties. Many adults in various types of employment may also struggle with challenges in reading, writing, spelling, or math. For individuals with a specific learning disorder, these problems cannot be explained by low intellectual ability, another disorder, lack of education, or visual or hearing impairment. Each person experiencing a learning disorder is unique and will present with varying degrees of difficulty.
A specific learning disorder can affect how individuals learn in various ways, including how they take in, remember, understand, or express information. These disorders are defined by the problems encountered in learning that impact achievement.
The most common forms of learning difficulties are in reading and spelling, but they may also occur in other areas such as spoken language and mathematics. Individuals with a specific difficulty in one or more areas often experience challenges in other areas of learning as well. For example, a child with specific difficulties in reading and spelling is likely to have some difficulties with mathematics, even if the level of difficulty is not as pronounced.
