The signs that your child may have a learning disability will be decompensation in that area, so most likely you will see it in school decompensation, or changes within their work quality, and that's where you'll start to get some feedback. You may see a reading issue early on, with the child not being able to connect to a reading process, and that may be an early sign that you want to investigate. If you suspect that your child has a learning disability, the best place to start is with a discussion with your primary care doctor about what you're seeing, and then he'll give you the next step.
