What we know about Learning Disabilities
Understanding learning disabilities (LD) can be confusing. Sometimes it is hard to separate fact from fiction or truth from opinion.

- People with LD have brains that are wired differently
- LD impacts the way the brain processes information
- LD can affect learning across many different subjects
- LD continues throughout the lifespan
- LD exists across class, culture, race, language, and gender
