Learning occurs at slower pace than peers, even when adjusted for. Definitions include:
- Moderate learning difficulties (MLD),
- Severe learning difficulties (SLD), where children are likely to need support in all areas of the curriculum and associated difficulties with mobility and communication,
- Profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), where children are likely to have severe and complex learning difficulties as well as a physical disability or sensory impairment.
- Specific learning difficulties (SpLD), such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia.
