Learning disabilities are often grouped into three categories: speech or language disorders; problems with reading, writing, or math skills; and a range of other disorders such as problems with coordination, motor skills, or memory.

Sometimes it’s clear that a child has one kind of disability, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia – disorders that impair reading and math abilities, respectively. But it’s also common for children to have a combination of different disorders.

Attention Deficit Disorders are not by themselves learning disabilities. But children with learning disabilities frequently have attention problems, as well.

Red flags that could indicate a learning disability in children age 5 and under include:

• Delayed speech
• Pronunciation problems
• Difficulty learning new words
• Difficulty learning to read
• Trouble learning numbers, the alphabet, days of the week, or colors and shapes
• Poor concentration
• Difficulty following directions
• Poor grasp of a crayon or pen
• Difficulty with buttoning, zipping, and tying
