Often mistaken as a low intelligence level, a learning disability is when damage to the brain prevents someone from absorbing or demonstrating knowledge in speaking, writing, reading, math, or fine motor skills. It is not that the child is stupid or is incapable of learning, but rather how he or she learns or how information is transferred from the brain to someone else. Because learning disabilities can have a wide range of symptoms, it makes it hard to diagnose and is often misdiagnosed. If left untreated, the effects of a learning disability are not limited to school age children. Learning disabilities will limit the success and choices that a child will have as an adult. Learning disabilities can be categorized into three main areas. see link for more... http://www.helium.com/tm/525969/often-mistaken-intelligence-level
