The case study seeks to explore a child with a learning disorder that dropped out of his grade school, exploring the explicit factors that lead to that discussion and what he exactly went through. The case study will contain detailed information about the child starting from the point of birth, social, medical, and all other historical facts that are important in dissecting the learning disability in him. Historically, several children across the world struggle in school in certain circumstances of learning as monitored from time to time. Nevertheless, it has been noted that when a child struggles during learning in school with some skills for a period, it could be related to a learning disorder (O’Connell et al., 2019). The learning disorder has various definition depending on the prevailing parameters at that time. However, a learning disorder in a child can be defined as a scenario when a child exhibits some level of difficulty in one or more learning spheres.

  The difficulty in the learning can be experienced even though the intelligence or the motivation might not be affected. The learning disability would be exhibited through factors such as difficulty in understanding a concept that is learnt or even the inability to notice specific shapes or item that is being taught. The children with learning disorder occasionally may feel stigmatized due to their inability to master the academic concept (Fletcher et al., 2019). The stigmatization can be related to the difficulty in handling and managing the learning disorder; stigmatization often has been considered as a hurdle in managing a learning disorder. Conversely, a learning disorder can exhibit emotional disturbance resulted from the aggression as a result of frustrations that one might go through amid others. In the research, there is the inclusion of management mechanism involve in the learning disorder. The special education is well illustrated as a mode of helping children with the learning disorder.
 The learning disability is estimated to have affected more than a million children across the world. In the United States, the population of children affected by learning disability has generally involved about 10 % of the children population. The learning disability is some occasion can have referred to as intellectual disability (Giofrè et al., 2017). However, currently, there is the existence of science and psychologically integrated spectrum approach in handling learning disability in children. This paper seeks to address the learning disability with an amplified and well-explained case study. The case study will illustrate a practical example of a child with a learning disability through the case to case approach—the causes of learning disability in children and even the medical history behind the learning disorder (Gadow, 2018). The majority of the human population that is not exposed to such human condition occasionally can be linked to discrimination and prejudice towards the children with a learning disorder. The research was conducted for months, of course, through the consent of the guardian of the child. The parents were optimistic about the condition of their child, and they were willing to go millstone to avert the situation and the state of their child. The case study further explores the experience of a child with a learning disability through his learning life.
