Specific learning disorder is a disorder in which a child's academic skills are significantly below what is expected for their age, intellectual ability, and educational level. This includes difficulties in reading, writing, or mathematics. The diagnosis is typically made through a comprehensive assessment, including achievement tests that compare the child's performance to their peers. Communication disorder relates to speech and language difficulties, phonological awareness relates to the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language, and fluency disorder relates to disruptions in the natural flow of speech.
