Cognition and Learning

Children and young people with learning difficulties may learn at a slower pace than others of the same age - even when learning tasks are changed to support them. Learning difficulties can cover a wide range of needs, including:

  • Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD)
  • Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD)
  • Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD)
  • Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) 

Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), can affect one or more specific aspects of learning. This covers a range of conditions such as:

  • Dyslexia
  • Dyscalculia, and
  • Dyspraxia
