&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;“Learning disabilities result from a variation in your child's central nervous system functioning. Learning disabilities can vary in severity, from mild to severe and they are sometimes difficult to recognize.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;National Centre for Learning Disabilities reads:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;“LD [Learning Disability] is more than a difference or difficulty with learning — it is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to receive, process, store, and respond to information.”&lt;/p&gt;
