Learning Disability Awareness
Learning disabilities, however they are acquired,
are lifelong. They are neurological disabilities and
as such affect how an individual understands and

disabilities or they may acquire them later in life.
There are many differing types of learning difficulty
and they can exhibit in many ways and with many different
characteristics.
