Learning Disabilities
Let's talk about learning disabilities. This refers to a variety of disorders that affect how a person acquires, retains, or takes in information. People with learning disabilities just learn differently. Learning disabilities affect people from all backgrounds and are not caused by culture, language or a lack of motivation.

This disability may become apparent in your customer service interaction when the person has difficulty reading material or taking in and processing the information you are providing.
