Common Signs of LD

Child or adult, anyone may experience the symptoms. Read here to learn how to recognize them. Everyone at one time or another may have some of these symptoms. The child or adult who consistently exhibits several of these characteristics may have a learning disability requiring professional identification and help.

Early Identification

Learning disabilities aren’t always easy to detect. That is why they are called a “hidden disability.” Early and accurate identification of young children with learning difficulties and proper intervention is essential for their success in school, on the playground, and at home.

Non-Verbal Learning Disorders

Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NLD) is a neurophysiological disorder which originates in the right hemisphere of the brain. Reception of nonverbal or performance-based information governed by this hemisphere is impaired in varying degrees, including problems with visual-spatial, intuitive, organizational, evaluative, and holistic processing functions.

Emotional issues often coexist with LD because of the poor self-image and frustration caused by this puzzling disability. Frequently, the child with a learning disability will exhibit disruptive behavior or may withdraw.
