Learning Disabilities

When you discover that your child has a learning disability it is often a stressful time. How to help and where to go for help is often the first questions parents ask. The websites below contain a wealth of information, support and teaching strategies. We do not specifically endorse one over the other, it is simply a short cut to information.
