Learning means acquiring information

Ability means physical and mental potentiality to do

Disability means problem in physical and mental ability.

A kids in classroom is sitting and watching projector if child has visual acuity problem then it's eye related impairment but same student has good eye acuity despite that have difficulty to understand the content then it's learning disabilty.again here lack of interest is different thing.

Learning Disability (LD) means difficulty in aquisition of information.

Dyslexia is no more word blindness cos it doesn't have phonic awareness.

also spelling disorganised eg child will copy wrong spelling from blackboard.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is about obsessive thought that gives anxiety and compulsion is the action done to reduce anxiety. it a cyclic process hampering daily living/routine.
