The idea
A learning disability is a specific academic impairment not explained by intellectual, sensory or language factors; ADHD involves persistent inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity, served under other health impairment; intellectual disability limits both intellectual and adaptive functioning.
In practice
A bright student reading far below grade level fits learning disability, not intellectual disability.
Where people slip
ADHD is not a learning disability.
