    TYPES OF LEARNING
    DISABILITIES

    Visual Perceptual/ Non-Verbal Learning


    Dyslexia Visual Motor Deficit Disabilities
    Auditory Processing
    Disorder (APD)

    Also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder,


    this is a condition that adversely affects how sound
    that travels unimpeded through the ear is processed
    or interpreted by the brain. Individuals with APD do
    not recognize subtle differences between sounds in
    words, even when the sounds are loud and clear
    enough to be heard. They can also find it difficult to
    tell where sounds are coming from, to make sense
    of the order of sounds, or to block out competing
    background noises.
    Dyscalculia

    A specific learning disability that affects a


    person’s ability to understand numbers and
    learn math facts. Individuals with this type of
    LD may also have poor comprehension of
    math symbols, may struggle with
    memorizing and organizing numbers, have
    difficulty telling time, or have trouble with
    counting.
    Dysgraphia

    A specific learning disability that affects a


    person’s handwriting ability and fine motor
    skills. Problems may include illegible
    handwriting, inconsistent spacing, poor
    spatial planning on paper, poor spelling, and
    difficulty composing writing as well as
    thinking and writing at the same time.
    Dyslexia
    A specific learning disability that affects
    reading and related language-based
    processing skills. The severity can differ in
    each individual but can affect reading fluency,
    decoding, reading comprehension, recall,
    writing, spelling, and sometimes speech and
    can exist along with other related disorders.
    Dyslexia is sometimes referred to as a
    Language-Based Learning Disability.
    Visual Perceptual/Visual
    Motor Deficit
    A disorder that affects the understanding of
    information that a person sees, or the ability
    to draw or copy. A characteristic seen in
    people with learning disabilities such as
    Dysgraphia or Non-verbal LD, it can result in
    missing subtle differences in shapes or
    printed letters, losing place frequently,
    struggles with cutting, holding pencil too
    tightly, or poor eye/hand coordination.
    Non-Verbal Learning
    Disabilities

    A disorder which is usually characterized by


    a significant discrepancy between higher
    verbal skills and weaker motor, visual-spatial
    and social skills. Typically, an individual with
    NLD (or NVLD) has trouble interpreting
    nonverbal cues like facial expressions or
    body language, and may have poor
    coordination.
