Dyslexia, dysorthographia and dyscalculia are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect learning abilities in some areas depending on the disability (reading, writing, math etc.).

These children have difficulties with the use of communication in social settings, either verbally and non-verbally. This often manifests itself in problems understanding social interactions and how to respond to them, difficulties participating in a group or a small or limited social circle.

Students with difficulties in the production of certain sounds, syllables and words can make a child’s speech difficult to understand or even unintelligible.  It can also impact their ability to read or spell accurately.
