Every child’s brain has its own unique wiring, a blueprint that shapes how they learn, communicate, and experience the world. When that wiring develops differently, it can lead to what are known as neurodevelopmental disorders. These are not flaws or behavioral issues; they are simply differences in how the brain processes information.
Specific learning disorders
A specific learning disorder means a child has a persistent challenge in a key area of learning. This isn’t about intelligence; it’s about the brain taking a different route to process information.
