  Ask Dr. Debby...
     
  How is a Learning Disability classified?
     
 

The broad categories are difficulties in reading (and language related, i.e. spelling, speaking, writing) and math.

As well, there are often more underlying problems affecting organization, attention, concentration, memory, sequencing of information and visual motor/visual spatial difficulties.

One of the largest sub-categories of these underlying problems is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)(as described in DSM IV). More on ADHD later.
