Specific Learning Disorder (SLD)

SLD
is a neurodevelopmental disorder. People with SLD may have some of the following difficulties:

  • slow and effortful word reading
  • difficulty in understanding the meaning of what is read
  • difficulty in spelling, written expression, and/ or Maths

Other assessments are required to exclude possibility of other physical or medical conditions before diagnosis is made. If you think you or your beloved ones have SLD, seek help.
