IF I HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY, I MAY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ONE OR MORE OF THESE:

● Learning new tasks
● Following instructions
● Reading
● Writing things down
● Organising some parts of my life
● Getting priorities right
● Speaking clearly and logically
● Solving maths problems
● Social situations
● Poor idea of time - too early or too late
● Remembering left from right
● Panicking under pressure
● Accurately working out what was said or what I see
● Fuzzy thinking or feeling confused

Every person with a learning disability is different and may have just one of these problems or a number of them.

"Having a SLD does not predict academic potential. However, the path to achievement may be harder and may require far greater (usually unseen) effort and a distinct set of skills." - Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity

“Dyslexia is not due to a lack of intelligence, it’s a lack of access. It’s like, if you’re dyslexic, you have all the information you need, but find it harder to process.” - Orlando Bloom

“Neurodiversity” is a term to describe differences in the way people’s brains work. There is no “correct” way for the brain to work, instead there is a wide range of ways that people perceive and respond to the world.
