About 2.3 million U.S. students have learning disabilities, accounting for about 4.8 percent of all
U.S. students aged 3 through 21. They may have difficulties in their ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do math calculations. They may have conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, or developmental aphasia. If they fail to do well with typical RTI programs, this often indicates a learning disability.
