  Learning difficulties begin during the school-age years. […] The individual’s difficulties must not be better explained by developmental, neurological, sensory (vision or hearing), or motor disorders and must significantly interfere with academic achievement, occupational performance, or activities of daily living (APA, 2013). […] LD is a lifelong condition and is unlikely to resolve after a child graduates, although many individuals learn to successfully accommodate for their LDs. […] Learning difficulties, including dyslexia, result in significant functional impairments in important life skills such as reading and learning. […] Recent IDEA data show that children with LD are more likely to experience challenges in academic performance and negative school outcomes, including below-average test scores, lower grades, and higher rates of course failure. […] While many individuals with learning difficulties lead active and productive lives as adults, others have learning challenges that lead to early withdrawal from school and lower levels of occupational attainment.
