Having a specific learning difficulty can make lessons hard for a young person to understand. They may find it difficult to concentrate on lessons and, because they cannot follow them properly, they find lessons 'boring'. Students may also find it difficult to keep up with classmates, and come to see themselves as stupid, or no good. Having a combination of learning difficulties can magnify these feelings, particularly if one or more of those learning difficulties is overlooked.
