Learning differences

Learning differences are different ways of learning and processing information. They are not about intelligence.

Definition

Learning differences include dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other profiles. People often have strengths alongside challenges. Support should be personalised, respectful, and practical. Understanding differences reduces shame and improves access.
