Chronic abuse and neglect in childhood interfere with the proper wiring of sensory-integration systems. In some cases this results in learning disabilities, which include faulty connections between the auditory and word-processing systems, and poor hand-eye coordination.

Even if these traumatized kids could sit still and pay attention, many of them would still be handicapped by their poor learning skills.
