While some people might label that learner as “dull,” more people are becoming aware that the brain of a challenged learner may have learning delays. Jensen, E (2011) describes Learning Delayed (LD), as “a child’s failure to make the usual development milestones typical of his or her age.”

Learning Delayed presents itself in multiple disorders. I have come across learners who really struggle in basics skills such as hand writing, simple mathematical calculations and recalling information.
