Correct option is C
Children with
average intelligence who struggle with reading, writing, and mathematics are likely to have a
learning disability. A
learning disability is a neurological condition that affects how the brain processes information, making it difficult for individuals to learn certain skills at the same rate as their peers, despite having average or above-average intelligence. The most common types include
dyslexia (reading difficulty),
dyscalculia (math difficulty), and
dysgraphia (writing difficulty).
Information Booster:
·
Learning disabilities are
not related to intelligence but to how the brain processes certain types of information.
· Early identification and tailored educational strategies can help children with learning disabilities succeed in school.
· The
individualized education plans (IEPs) are often used to support children with learning disabilities.
Additional Knowledge:
·
Low intelligence quotient (IQ):
· Children with learning disabilities usually have
average or above-average IQs, which distinguishes them from children with intellectual disabilities.
·
Lack of interest in studies:
·
Lack of interest could be a symptom of a learning disability, but it is not the cause. Learning disabilities stem from
neurological differences, not motivation.
·
Low emotional intelligence:
· Emotional intelligence (EQ) refers to the ability to understand and manage emotions. While emotional issues may accompany learning disabilities,
low EQ is not the primary cause of difficulties in reading, writing, or math.
