"Learning disabilities" refer to a number of disorders which may affect the acquisition, organization, retention, understanding or use of verbal or nonverbal information. These disorders affect learning in individuals who otherwise demonstrate at least average abilities essential for thinking and/or reasoning. As such, learning disabilities are distinct from global intellectual deficiency ... Learning disabilities result from impairments in one or more processes related to perceiving, thinking, remembering or learning. These include, but are not limited to: language processing, phonological processing, visual spatial processing, processing speed, memory and attention, and executive functions (e.g. planning and decision-making). 5, record 1, English, - learning%20disability

L'expression «troubles d'apprentissage» fait référence à un certain nombre de dysfonctionnements pouvant affecter l'acquisition, l'organisation, la rétention, la compréhension ou le traitement de l'information verbale ou non verbale. Ces dysfonctionnements affectent l'apprentissage chez des personnes qui, par ailleurs, font preuve des habiletés intellectuelles essentielles à la pensée ou au raisonnement. Ainsi, les troubles d'apprentissages sont distincts de la déficience intellectuelle [...] Les troubles d'apprentissage découlent d'atteintes d'un ou de plusieurs processus touchant la perception, la pensée, la mémorisation ou l'apprentissage. Ces processus incluent entre autres le traitement phonologique, visuo-spatial, le langage, la vitesse de traitement de l'information, la mémoire, l'attention, et les fonctions d'exécution telles que la planification et la prise de décision. 4, record 1, French, - trouble%20d%27apprentissage
