LD is an acronym for Learning Disorder or Learning
Disability. Essentially the LDs comprise a series of deficits that interfere
with the child’s ‘learning’. Hence we use the term ‘disorder’. Children with LD
learn things in a manner that's different from the conventional pattern. There
may be a deficit in reading, writing, or mathematics. The processing of
information in the brain is different and the techniques used to understand
information are somehow unusual. The learning process thus becomes very tedious
in the brains of such individuals. This faulty pattern has to be corrected in
order for the appropriate learning experience to build.
