Genetic and/or neurobiological variables that modify brain function in a way that impacts one or more cognitive processes for learning can create learning disorders.

These processing troubles can interfere with learning basic capabilities along with analysing, writing and/or math. They can also affect relatively high-level skills such as planning, timekeeping, abstract reasoning, long or short-term memory, and a willingness to participate.

It is vital to acknowledge that learning difficulties can affect an individual's life outside of academics, including social interaction with family and friends.

Learning disabilities should not be confused with learning difficulties caused by visual, hearing, or motor impairments; intellectual disability; emotional disturbance; or unfavourable environmental, cultural, or economic factors.

A learning impairment is a lifetime obstacle that cannot be cured or rectified. Children with learning disabilities, however, can achieve success in college, in business, in connections, and in the community with the right support and assistance.
