Many children have short-term memory problems.
These children are often labeled as lazy, immature, and stupid. School failure leads to frustration, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Early warning signs of learning disabilities include problems with reading, mathematics, comprehension, writing, spoken language, or reasoning abilities. Hyperactivity, inattention and perceptual coordination may also be associated with learning disabilities but are not learning disabilities themselves. The primary characteristic of a learning disability is a significant difference between a child's achievement in some areas and his or her overall intelligence.
