What causes Learning Disabilities (LD)?
There are many theories about this, but in reality no-one knows what causes LD’s. There is often a strong hereditary connection. To diagnose an LD, all other possible causes of the learning challenge must be investigated. That is why the possible effects of factors such as vision, hearing, nutrition, stress, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, thyroid, hypoglycemia, hearing, vision, allergies, abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, drug or alcohol) or a chaotic environment all have to be considered by the professional who is responsible for the diagnosis.
