Answer 1

Learning disabilities are neurological based processing problems.These processing problems can interfere with basic learning skills such as reading, writing maths etc. Let us tae an example of learning disability of dyscalculia.Students experincing this may have difiicuilty in comprehension of maths symbols, they may struggle with organizing or memorizing numbers. This would defineatly affect the academic problems related to maths or any scientific problems. But students having dyscalculia have difficuilty in understanding fractions, have difficuilty in sequencing or events, they fid it hard to understand graphs or charts. Kids having dyscalculia often face math anxiety which inturn leads to more poor results. The students have trouble in writing numbers clearly or putting them under right column
