Definition of Learning Disability. Learning disability is most commonly understood as a significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning as manifested during the development period of early childhood. There are many different causes of learning disability, some of them unknown. It results from damage to the brain (or malformation of the brain) or nervous system which may be caused by inherited factors, or may result from injury during birth, illness or accident. The condition is not reversible and has a lasting effect on development. Learning disability is not an illness classified as one of the mental disorders although people with this condition may also suffer from imposed psychiatric illnesses just as they may also have a physical disability.
