On parlera de «difficulté» lorsqu'il s'agit d'acquisitions ou d'apprentissage, et de «troubles» pour désigner un mauvais fonctionnement aussi bien dans le domaine de la personnalité que de la physiologie, du développement et des fonctions instrumentales (langage parlé, langage écrit, psychomotricité, etc.) [...] L'«apprentissage» lui-même ne connaît pas de «trouble», mais de la «difficulté» à s'exercer à cause de certaines limites, de certains troubles, de conditions défavorables. La traduction littérale de «learning disabilities» par «troubles d'apprentissage» constitue un anglicisme. 3, record 3, French, - difficult%C3%A9%20l%C3%A9g%C3%A8re%20d%27apprentissage
