Hidden Input Dysfunctions in Learning Disabilities : Reframing Output Failures Through a Sensory–Motor–Cognitive Integration Lens Dr. Santosh V. Kondekar Neurodevelopmental Pediatrician Abstract Learning disabilities (LD) are commonly conceptualized as deficits in academic performance; however, this view often overlooks deeper dysfunctions in sensory processing, perceptual integration, and motor execution . This paper proposes an expanded framework: output learning disability may mask input dysfunction , and introduces the concept of “cognitive sensing” —a higher-order regulatory mechanism that acts as a functional prerequisite for meaningful sensory processing. Without cognitive readiness (attention, intent, contextual framing), sensory inputs remain disorganized and clinically ineffective. Profiles with impaired sensory integration align more closely with Autism Spectrum Disorder, whereas intact sensing with impaired execution aligns with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorde...
