Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yaakov's difficulty in math, despite normal intelligence and success in other classes, suggests a specific learning disability. Learning disabilities are neurodevelopmental disorders that can cause difficulties in reading, writing, math, reasoning, listening, and speaking. Since his challenges are specific to math, it aligns with a learning disability, not a general intellectual disability, ADHD, or Down syndrome, which would likely affect more areas of his learning and daily functioning.
