Learning disabilities (LDs), including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, affect about 5–15% of the population. Though children with LDs have average or above-average intelligence, they may struggle with reading, writing, or math, impacting classroom performance and self-esteem. Early diagnosis and intervention through tailored education and therapies like occupational, speech, and psychological support can significantly improve their learning outcomes and promote inclusion.
