Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities
Attention Deficit Disorder is a very disruptive neurobiological disorder that can arise in early childhood. ADD is marked by behaviors that are chronic (lasting at least six months) with onset before age seven.

Learning Disabilities
Our understanding of learning disabilites has also made many advances during the last ten years or so. Learning disabilities have to do with specific impairments in the process of learning new material or utilizing previously learned material. The categories are not simple and it can be difficult to test directly for a specific ability because usually a combination of abilities are utilized for any one task.
A sample of commonly recognized learning disabilities includes:

* auditory comprehension (spoken material)
* visual comprehension (written material)
* the ability to utilize numbers and sequences
* the ability to produce spoken language on demand (as the result of questions, rather than spontaneous conversation)
