AB Terms  such  as  learning  disorder  and  learning  disability  often  are  used  interchangeably.  The  International  Statistical  Classification  of  Diseases  and  Related  Health  Problems–10th  Revision  (ICD-10)  uses  the  term  Specific  Developmental  Disorders  of  Scholastic  Skills  in  referring  to  this  category  of  Disorders  of  Psychological  Development.  It  is  further  subdivided  into  disorders  having  to  do  with  specific  scholastic  skills  such  as  reading,  spelling,  math,  and  so  forth.  There  will  be  reference  to  ICD-10  definitions  and  diagnostic  criteria  at  various  points  in  the  discussion  of  learning  disorders  in  this  chapter.  However,  the  coverage  of  the  topic  will  be  broader  than  that  and  will  incorporate  conceptual,  empirical,  and  historical  perspectives  as  well.
