What are some other nutritional deficiencies that could show up as mild learning disabilities in school aged children?
Children that have iron deficiency have difficulty with concentration as well. Children that are deficient in vitamin B6 may also struggle since this vitamin is important for neurotransmitter production. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be primary in nature-lack of animal product intake or it can be a secondary deficiency in which the body cannot absorb the vitamin. This can affect the myelin sheaths of neuronal cells and can impact mental functioning.
