Learning / Neurological

It has been confirmed that a learning disability is caused by a neurological disorder, which affect a person’s ability to receive, process, store and respond to visual, auditory or spatial information.

Children with a neurological/learning disorder process information and learn in a manner different to peers, and others in their own age group or grade in school.
