A child with learning disabilities is one who has particular problems accessing an area or areas of the school curriculum such that his/her performance and learning suffer overall.
Children with Special Educational Needs may be categorized as :

• Children with emotional and behavioral difficulties for example Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrom.
  
• Children with specific learning difficulties for example Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
  
• Children who have a physical difficulty for example Cerebral Palsy, Brittle Bone Condition.
  
• Children who have a Sensory impairment for example visual or hearing but are aided by optical aids or hearing aids.
  
• Children who fall behind the general progress of their class for example slow learners.

Hence, CADS is an acronym for Cerebral Palsy, Autism-ADHD, Downs Syndrome-Dyslexia and Slow Learners.
