processing disorder
Brain interpretation difficulty
A processing disorder is a neurological condition where the brain has difficulty interpreting sensory information despite normal sensory organs.
The eyes see and the ears hear, but the brain struggles to make sense of the input.
Common types include auditory processing disorder, where spoken language is hard to follow, and visual processing disorder, where reading or spatial tasks prove difficult: Her processing disorder means she needs extra time on tests.
These conditions are distinct from learning disabilities, though they often overlap.
