Find a Learning Disorder Therapist in Brighton & Hove

The major indication that you may have a learning disability is an unexplained discrepancy between your expected level of achievement and your actual performance. Learning disabilities make it difficult for those affected to learn as quickly or in the same way as others. People with a learning disability have trouble performing specific types of skills (like reading, writing, listening, speaking, or doing math) if taught in the conventional way.

Ordinarily diagnosed in children, people with learning disabilities often have average or above average intelligence. Learning disabilities are somewhat common, affecting over two million school-aged children in the United States. Although having a learning disability can be a lifelong challenge, seeing a qualified mental health professional is very helpful for learning coping strategies.
