Have you ever heard of learning disabilities (无力,无能),which are disorders in the ways that people understand or use a language? They can affect the ability to listen or think, or to speak, or to read and write. They can also affect the ability to do math.

A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulties in developing these skills. Researchers believe that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They say children with learning disabilities are not stupid or do not want to work. Their brains just deal with information differently from others.

As many as one out of every five people in the United States have some kind of learning disability.

A few signs of learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task.

Experts say learning disability can’t be cured (治愈). But people who have them can be helped. Teachers and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.
