Types of disabilities and difficulties

 There seems to be a lot of confusement what a learning disability and learning difficulty are, every site you see on the internet different people see it in different ways when really learning disability and difficulty think should be all in one to try and make it less confusing for people. By considering the word learning disability which causes people to have difficulties in learning. 

Learning disabilities and learning difficulties are such problems as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, and dyscalculia, which tend to affect peoples' learning in school, college university, etc. They may need one-to-one support either between them, a teacher, tutor, etc, or and in the classroom other students, etc learning with another teacher, tutor, etc talking the class, which I think causes people difficulties in learning. 

Learning disabilities can affect listening, hearing, speaking, communicating, socializing, reading, written language, handwriting, spelling, maths, problem-solving, spatial relations, social interaction.

For example, Dyslexia causes difficulty with reading, writing, and spelling.

Dyscalculia causes difficulty with maths. 

Dyspraxia causes difficulty with motor skills, movement, gripping, this makes it hard for people to cook, household tasks, etc. https://www.understood.org/en/learning-thinking-differences/child-learning-disabilities/dyspraxia/understanding-dyspraxia

Dysgraphia is a specific learning disability that affects writing in the way it looks. It's something I have always faced myself, when writing on paper without lines, my writing has always been untidy, all over the place, and not close to the margin of the page, which for sure it happens in childhood but not sure if it's always there. https://www.priorychildrensservices.co.uk/our-specialisms/specific-learning-difficulties/dysgraphia/

Autism Spectrum disorder ( ASD) and Aspergers Syndrome difficulties with socializing, communication, social imagination, and thinking. 

ADHD difficulties with attention and concentration.  

Auditory and visual processing disorders finding it hard to recognize interpreting information by sign and sound.
