Learning disability is a general term that refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and the use of listening, spelling, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical ability. These disorders are intrinsic to the individual, presumed to be due to central nervous dysfunction and may occur across the life span. Problems in self-regulatory behaviors, social perceptions, and social integration may exist with learning disabilities but do not by themselves constitute a learning disability. Although learning disabilities may occur concomitantly with other disabilities, they are not the result of those conditions or influences. Georgetown does not discriminate or deny access to an otherwise qualified student with a disability on the basis of a learning disability, and consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the University will provide qualifying students with learning disabilities reasonable accommodations [see Procedure for Requesting Accommodations].
