Re: Proposed glossary entries

Also, I am concerned about specifically including the "learning disabilities” phrase / language.

 In the US this phrase generally refers the neurological processes on learning for (reading/writing/math with an Education focus). For example even a quick search for "learning disability"  leads to learning disability association of America (ldaamerica.org) supports this. This is also the understanding and how we used in the NY/US gov’t policies and the US educational space. So if our focus in that area (if unintentional) we should make sure to be. 

Therefore if it including “learning disabilities:” I would also include "aging related cognitive decline" and "acquired brain injury" as well if we are wanting to include the “learning" term. I realize this may be UK (non-google bias) or US culture/language difference as well. Or simply remove “learning disabilities”. Additionally could include it in definition of cognitive disabilities.

Overall, want to ensure more inclusive of the much larger older aging and acquired neurological disability community.
