**__Definition of Specific Learning Disabilities__** A specific learning disability (SLD) can be defined as a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or perform mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction and dyslexia. There are also learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing motor disabilities, cognitive disabilities, emotional disturbance, cultural factors, environmental, or economic disadvantage.
