The idea
A learning disability is a specific academic impairment, a discrepancy between ability and achievement not explained by sensory, motor, intellectual or second-language factors; students with learning disabilities make up about half of all students served.
In practice
A bright student who reads far below grade level, with normal vision and hearing, may have one.
Where people slip
A learning disability is not low intelligence.
