Each of these will be discussed individually. Academic learning disability affects children in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. When a child is tested, there is usually a significant discrepancy in the performance score in one specific category.

Language learning disability can affect speech, reading, or writing.
Persons may have ideas but fail to put them into words. They may hear people saying words but not interpret or process the meanings of the phrases. Some individuals may be able to express themselves orally but cannot seem to write the ideas using sentences and paragraphs. Traditional methods of outlining may be modified to incorporate a broader spectrum of thought. Tape recorders can be used to record ideas orally before trying to write.
