Learning Disorders

A learning disability, also known as a learning disorder, prohibits an individual from learning in a normal manner. These types of disorders affect the brain’s ability to receive and process information. This impedes an individual’s capability to learn as quickly or in the same manner as someone without a learning disorder. Learning disorders are expected to rise in adults over 60 by 36% between 2001 and 2021. In addition, learning disorders affect even the living arrangement of those afflicted. 60% of adults with learning disorders live with their families.
