From experience in dev, there are multitudes here with learning disabilities of many different kinds. Without knowing more specifics, I'd say just about anything is open to someone from a wide range of learning disabled backgrounds. Personally, I'd recommend a person with a learning disability particularly focus on what he or she is intensely interested in. It's generally a good idea, but intense interest can help push through a lot of challenges, from my own experience.

I know a couple of devs with dyslexia, their variable naming/spelling is pretty atrocious but they are stellar engineers.

Learning disability is a too wide term to answer your question.
