Learning disabilities are common among U.S. children, affecting about 1 in 10 children nationally. They manifest in many different ways – some children experience difficulties with reading called dyslexia, some with math called dyscalculia, some with writing called dysgraphia, and others with nonverbal learning disabilities.
