Understanding Learning Disabilities

A Learning Disability affects the way a person’s brain is wired, making it challenging to read, write, spell, or solve math problems. It is not a problem with intelligence. At ICRCL, we provide tailored support that addresses the specific needs of children with learning differences, helping them find effective ways to learn and build the confidence to succeed academically and personally.
