problems, difficult to understand the concept of numbers, digital facts or calculations,
difficult for mathematical reasoning, for example, applying mathematical concepts or
solving mathematical problems.
The second condition is that academic skills are significantly lower than the
child’s expected age and cause problems in school, work or daily activities. The third
condition is that the difficulty begins at school age, even if some people do not
encounter major problems until adulthood (when academics, work, and daily needs are
greater).
The last condition is that learning difficulties are not caused by other
conditions, such as intellectual disability, vision or hearing problems, neurological
diseases such as pediatric stroke, adverse conditions like economic or environmental
disadvantages, lack of guidance or difficulty speaking or understanding language .
Co-Occurring Disorders
It has been found that certain learning disabilities often coexist with several
other disorders and conditions, including hyperactivity disorder, communication
disorder, developmental coordination disorder, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety
disorder, depression and bipolar disorder.
Having one of these other conditions does not mean that someone cannot be
diagnosed with a particular learning disability, but this makes testing and diagnosis
more difficult. For clinicians, it will be important to determine whether two separate
causes cause symptoms or whether a non-learning disabilities disease does cause
academic problems. In that case, because the standard requires the exclusion of other
causes, the child will not be diagnosed with a specific learning disability.
5.4 Impact on Functionality
The impact of specific learning disabilities is divided into three levels, namely
mild, moderate and severe. A minor degree means that learning in one or two
academic fields is somewhat difficult, but it can make up for this. Moderate refers to
major learning difficulties that require some specialized teaching and accommodation
