Is there a difference

[Unintentionallycausingoffence]

Some specialist settings will say they cater for ASC and moderate learning difficulties or SEMH and moderate learning difficulties. Is there a difference between academic or educational moderate learning difficulties and general moderate learning difficulties?

[Skiphopbump]

Academic or educational moderate learning difficulties could mean dyslexia, dyscalculia or perhaps anxiety holding the child back.
General moderate learning difficulties could mean a global delay in all areas.

[Headfirstintothewild]

There’s specific learning difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia and general learning difficulties. The latter general affects more areas.

Frustratingly, many schools/LAs/professionals use learning difficulties instead of learning disability when they actually mean there is an intellectual disability.
