While there are some differences between the construct of specific learning "disability" and "disorder," there are many similarities.

While most experienced psychologists are familiar with the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders--Fourth Edition--Text Revision" ("DSM-IV-TR"; APA, 2000) diagnosis of learning disorder, several important changes have been made with the "DSM-5" (APA, 2013) that are discussed in this article.
