How it opens
These are neurologically-centred processing challenges that can disrupt acquiring necessary aptitudes such as math, writing, and reading. Moreover, they can affect advanced skills such as abstract reasoning, short-term/long-term memory, time planning, and organization (Learning Disabilities Association of America, 2016).
Characteristics Inconsistencies between advanced verbal capacity and weaker motor, social and visual-spatial competences (Learning Disabilities Association of America, 2016). There is significant difficulty understanding nonverbal signs such as body language, facial expressions, and also poor coordination.
Inability to distinguish slight differences between sounds in words, even when they are clear and loud enough to be perceived. Additionally, there is trouble identifying the location of sounds, figuring out the sound order, and obstructing opposing background noises.
Trouble incorporating meaning into sound groups that create words, sentences, and words. Referred to as LPD (Language Processing Disorder), this condition is linked to language processing and can impact receptive/expressive language (Learning Disabilities Association of America, 2016).

Using an example well
Read it for how the paper is built, not for wording to reuse: how the introduction frames the question, how each paragraph moves from a claim to evidence, and how sources are cited in APA 6. Submitting any part of it as your own work would be plagiarism, and it is written for a different brief than yours.
