Abstract: Learning Disabilities (LD) refer to a number of disorders which may affect the acquisition, organization, retention, understanding or use of verbal or nonverbal information. These disorders affect learning in individuals who otherwise demonstrate at least average abilities. Learning disabilities range in severity and may interfere with the acquisition and use of one or more abilities in fields of oral language, reading, written language and mathematics. They are much more complex then they looked like on the first sight because they affect children's self-concept, social competence and self-awareness. Furthermore, LD affect family dynamic and become family affair. We hope that this chapter will be supportive and helpful to families in that child has LD. Just becoming aware of some issues that bothers children, parents, siblings can be a good start for making some positive improvements.
