The term LD is used to describe the seeming unexplained difficulty, a person of at least average intelligence has, in acquiring basic academic skills. These skills are essential for success at school and at workplace and for coping with life in general. LD is not a single disorder, the term LD is relatively new. Krick (1963), introduced the term 'Learning Disability' in a meeting of concerned parents of children having learning problems and educationalists in a meeting in Chicago. LD is used to describe a specific type of exceptional child. The term is not used in all children who have learning problems in school.
