Learning difficulties describes a number of symptoms, which can include problems with listening, processing information, speaking, reading, writing, spelling, or doing mathematical calculations. Students displaying these symptoms may be labeled learning disabled, dyslexic, slower learner, or attention deficit disordered. For the child with a learning difficulty, the classroom experience is often one of isolation, embarrassment, and low self-esteem. For adults, these feelings mature; the workplace may also become an equally stressful environment. The important thing to remember is that when students with learning differences are given the right learning tools, they can perform as their peers do. Their inability to achieve their potential may include a processing deficit in one or more of the following areas. Reading, spelling, writing or math Speech and language deficits Auditory and visual processing Gross and/or fine motor skills Dyslexia Creative choices in learning styles can improve a person's sense of self-worth. Students who struggle in the classroom can shine as they proudly showcase their strengths to their tutor at the LDC.
