The most common examples are as follows: -Dyslexia, which makes reading and writing challenging, affects about 8 out of 10 people with learning challenges. - Dysgraphia makes handwriting and spelling challenging. - Math difficulties are caused by dyscalculia. One disorder that makes it difficult to understand and pronounce other people's language is dysphasia. - Unlike learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities impact all areas of learning and comprehension in the brain. - Only one component of learning is impacted by learning impairments.
