Learning disabilities occur when the brain experiences an imbalance in its development, either before birth, during childbirth, or during early childhood. Several factors can affect brain development, including:
- Infection of the mother during pregnancy.
- Problems during childbirth that impede the arrival of sufficient oxygen to the brain of the child.
- Defect in the evolution of genes.
Transmission of genes or genes to the fetus through parents has made it more susceptible to learning disabilities (known as inherited learning disabilities).
Some diseases, such as meningitis or traumatic injury during childhood.
There may sometimes be no clear cause for learning disability. Some cases are associated with learning disabilities, such as cerebral palsy. This is because people with such conditions are more likely to have learning disabilities. Anyone with Down's syndrome has some sort of learning disability, as do most people with cerebral palsy. Autistic patients may have learning disabilities, as do 30% of patients with epilepsy.
