Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs)
Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs)
A specific learning difficulty (SpLD) is a difference or difficulty with some particular aspects of learning. The most common SpLDs are Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Attention Deficit Disorder/ Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia. Sometimes there is a diagnosis of Specific Learning Difficulties, rather than Dyslexia or Dyspraxia because the individual experiences a unique combination of difficulties which cannot be readily categorized but may include features of one or more recognized SpLDs.
