Health Tip: Signs of Learning Disabilities

(HealthDay News) — Difficulty reading and writing is common for children and does not always indicate a learning disability.

Common signs of a learning disability include ongoing:

1. Problems with reading, writing or math.

2. Inability to pay attention and follow directions.

3. Trouble staying organized.

4. Difficulty expressing thoughts.

5. Impulsive behavior.
