Usually, learning disabilities cause learning gaps. For example, your child has a dyslexia. He'll have a difficulty trying to learn to read and causes the what we call, "learning gap". Another example, if the family of the child has not enough resources like financial needs, and other basic needs, it can cause a learning gap. They might be left behind at school because of these factors that cause them to have a learning gap.

Basically, the learning gap is the difference between what your child HAS ALREADY learned in comparison to what they ARE EXPECTED TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND. So for example, there could be a learning gap for a 5th grader who hasn't yet learned multiplication or division. The gap comes from the fact that most 5th graders are already learning/have learned that topic. It's usually based on individual performance, though.
