Re: Language-based learning disabilities "there are two types of LBLD, non-verbal, which includes disabilities from psychomotor difficulties to dyslexia. The other type is language based.[5][6]"

How does that make any sense, that there is a non-verbal language-based learning disability? Shouldn`t it read:

"there are two types of LD, non-verbal, which includes disabilities from psychomotor difficulties to dyslexia. The other type is language based.[5][6]"

You are absolutely right! I checked the source, and that is exactly what it says. Furthermore, the source said dyscalculia and not dyslexia. That also makes much more sense, because dyslexia is a language based difficulty. Lova Falk talk 06:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rsik factors

I removed the entire section risk factors. The article had a source for this section: Margaret Kay Writing Disabilities, which turned out to be: Margaret Kay Risk Factors - but these are risk factors for learning disabilities, and not specifically for language-based learning disabilities.

Symptoms section all messed up

Could someone familiar with this article clean it up? I'm not sure if someone edited it poorly or what. The first sentence alone is obviously messed up, and I think they mean "dyscalculia" in it, not dyslexia. It also seems to excessively repeat itself. It really needs a good cleanup!

Totally Ambiguous Sentence

This sentence itself is nearly impossible to understand. Sounds like it was written by someone with this problem rather than a scholar. "whatever they say can be ambiguous and hard to understand[2] It is caused by brain damage[1] or a structural development of brain usually at birth. It is often hereditary, and is frequently associated to specific language problems."198.230.103.109 (talk) 11:54, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
