Clear, easy-to-use website for parents & teachers of students with LD

LD.org offers busy parents a "one-stop shop" — answering their questions about learning disabilities (LD) and providing free, helpful resources for their entire family as they move along their "LD journey."

Check out the new sections they've developed:

LD Basics
Provides "The Basics" about various types of learning disabilities and helps to make sense of the latest research surrounding LD and learning.

In the Home
Offers real-life suggestions to help parents manage the day-to-day challenges and expectations of having a child with LD.

At School
Information that teaches parents how to advocate for their child within the school system by empowering them with information about their child's rights.

College and Work
Provides helpful strategies and tools for parents whose children are transitioning from high school to work or college.

On Capitol Hill
Highlights education and civil rights legislation that directly impacts students with LD and their families.

Publications and More
Parents, students and education professionals alike can access all of NCLD's high-quality free resources about learning disabilities -- parent advocacy guides, signs & symptoms lists, printable worksheets, & recorded webchats on current LD issues.

This is a tremendous source of practical info that you won't want to miss. Click here to visit!
