According to the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities, "learning disabilities" is a "general term that refers
to a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening,
speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical abilities." A learning disability is presumably due to central
nervous system dysfunction, and is not primarily due to other handicapping conditions, environmental, or cultural influences.
It is not a form of mental retardation, or an emotional disorder.
