The Impact of Learning Disabilities on Academic Achievement Among Secondary-Level Students

This research explores the effects of learning disabilities (LD) on the academic achievement of secondary-level students. Learning disabilities are a group of neurological disorders that affect the ability to process information and perform academic tasks efficiently. These disabilities can severely impact a student’s performance in school, affecting their cognitive, emotional, and social development. This paper examines the types of learning disabilities, their impact on academic achievement, and the strategies that can be implemented to support affected students in secondary education. Through a comprehensive literature review, this research highlights the importance of early diagnosis and intervention, and the role of educators, parents, and peers in fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
