LD Explained

What is and isn’t a learning disability (LD)? LD is more than a difference or difficulty with learning — it is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to receive, process, store, and respond to information.

More than 2.6 million students

are diagnosed with LD and receive special education services in our schools, representing 45 percent of students with disabilities nationwide.
