Specific learning difficulties (SpLD), affect one or more specific as- pects of learning. This encompasses a range of conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dys- praxia. Pupils with MLD will have attainments well below expected levels in all or most areas of the curric- ulum, despite appropriate interventions.
In particular, psychology professionals should study these seven learning disabilities:
- Dyslexia.
- Dysgraphia.
- Dyscalculia.
- Auditory processing disorder.
- Language processing disorder.
- Nonverbal learning disabilities.
- Visual perceptual/visual motor deficit.
ADHD is not on the autism spectrum, but they have some of the same symptoms. And having one of these conditions increases the chances of having the other. Experts have changed the way they think about how autism and ADHD are related.
The official DfE definition of children with PMLD is: “Pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties have complex learning needs. Pupils require a high level of adult support, both for their learning needs and also for their personal care.
5 Most Common Learning Disabilities
- Dyslexia. Dyslexia is perhaps the best known learning disability.
- ADHD. Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder has affected more than 6.4 million children at some point.
- Dyscalculia. Math is another major area of concern when it comes to learning disabilities.
- Dysgraphia.
- Processing Deficits.
The three main types of learning disabilities are: reading disabilities, written language disabilities, and math disabilities. Each type of LD can include several different disorders.
The causes of PMLD are many and varied. They include genetic disorders, acquired brain injury or brain damage as a result of infection. Causation may be ante-, peri- or post- natal. For many there is no known causation.

ADHD is the most common disorder that co-exists with learning disabilities, but is not considered a learning disability. Many individuals who have ADHD also have learning disabilities, so assessment for LDs is important if there are academic difficulties.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.
What are some signs of learning disabilities?
- Problems reading and/or writing.
- Problems with math.
- Poor memory.
- Problems paying attention.
- Trouble following directions.
- Clumsiness.
- Trouble telling time.
- Problems staying organized.
Mild – A person who is said to have a mild learning disability is usually able to hold a conversation, and communicate most of their needs and wishes. They may need some support to understand abstract or complex ideas. People are often independent in caring for themselves and doing many everyday tasks.
Learning disorders affect the psychological processes involved in learning. They can impair the way a person learns how to read, write, do math, or any other learning process. The most common learning disorder is dyslexia, affecting approximately 80 to 90 percent of all learning disorders.
Having a learning disability means that people find it harder to learn certain life skills. The problems experienced vary from person to person, but may include aspects such as learning new things, communication, managing money, reading, writing, or personal care.
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.
Some common characteristics of SpLDs:
- Memory difficulties.
- Organisational difficulties.
- Writing difficulties.
- Visual processing difficulties.
- Reading difficulties.
- Auditory processing difficulties.
- Time management difficulties.
- Sensory distraction: an inability to screen out extraneous visual or auditory stimuli.
Some mental health, neurodevelopmental, medical and physical conditions frequently co-occur in individuals with intellectual disability, including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder and depression and anxiety disorders.
