learning disability

Limitation in the ability to learn. Learning disabilities vary in degree and arise from a variety of origins, including dysfunction of the brain and childhood behavioural problems. Learning disabilities are often associated with other disabilities.

The major causes of brain dysfunction are due to the presence of abnormal chromosomes, such as in Down's syndrome, and to other genetic disorders, or it can be due to head injuries. Intellectual and social impairment results in the individual requiring additional care and supervision to live as normal a life as possible.

Profound learning disabilities result in the person having multiple disabilities and being unable to walk or talk and being totally dependent upon others for care.
