Correct Answer - Option 3 : Both (A) and (B)

Learning disabilities are disorders that affect a person’s ability to understand or respond to new information, or they are disorders that affect the ability to remember information that appears to have been taken in. Learning disabilities tend to cause problems with listening skills, language skills (including speaking, reading, or writing), and mathematical operations. Learning disabilities can also cause problems in coordinating movements, making the child seem (and feel) awkward.

Few learning disabilities in children:- 

  • Dyscalculia (problems with mathematical operations)
  • Dysgraphia (problems with handwriting)
  • Information-processing disorders (inability to fully use sensory information)
  • Language-related problems, or difficulty with age-appropriate verbal and written communications
  • Reading disability or dyslexia
  • Significant delay in achieving a developmental milestone, while other areas are normal or above average

Causes of learning disabilities:- Learning disabilities are a brain-operational aberration. This means that the brain assimilates and processes certain kinds of new information and performs operations in unique, unusual ways that often make it difficult to achieve normal learning milestones.

  • Environmental factors: Unstimulating the environment at home develops emotional and language deprivation. Language plays a crucial role in a child’s environment, in his thinking as well as in learning other skills. Language deprivation and diversity complicate learning disability.
  • Physiological factors/Organic factors: Brain injury, damaged central nervous system, genetic factors, and prenatal and postnatal problems also lead to learning disabilities. Maternal health, diet, lifestyle, and postnatal factors like head injury, nutritional defects are potential causes of learning disability. Maturational lag and neurological disturbances can also be factors that lead to a learning disability.
  • Psychological factors: These may be poor perception and lack of conceptualization, unhealthy classroom climate, and lack of scholastic motivation.
  • Educational factors: Learning disability may be caused by inadequate, inappropriate teaching, unskilled and inefficiently trained teachers, too high or too low teachers’ expectations towards children, and inappropriate materials and curriculum.

Organic factors are also known as a genetic factor or physiological factors such as brain damage, genetic links, and complications during pregnancy may cause this condition, 

Hence, we can conclude that the above factors cause learning disabilities.
