Learning disabilities are neurologically-based processing problems. These processing problems can interfere with learning basic skills such as reading, writing and/or math. They can also interfere with higher level skills such as organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, long or short term memory and attention.

Currently, there's no known definite cause of auditory processing disorder. It may be linked to ear infections, premature birth, or head trauma.
Symptoms include difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, following directions, and distinguishing between similar sounds.
Symptoms Of Auditory Processing Disorder
A visual processing, or perceptual, disorder refers to a hindered ability to make sense of information taken in through the eyes. This is different from problems involving sight or sharpness of vision. Difficulties with visual processing affect how visual information is interpreted, or processed by the brain.
Visual and Auditory Processing Disorders
Language Processing Disorder (LPD) is difficulty receiving, recognizing and understanding language; it also involves difficulty expressing language. People with LPD may have difficulty getting the meaning behind a joke.
