A professional assessment is necessary to diagnose a learning disability. Each learning disability has its own symptoms. Also, not every person with each disability will have all of the related symptoms. Children being taught in a language that they are learning as a second language sometimes behave in ways that are similar to symptoms of a learning disability.
