A child with learning differences faces many frustrating challenges and pressures. The resulting feelings of isolation and despair may keep a child from reaching his or her full potential. Finding a school or program that caters to your child's individual needs can lead to increased self-confidence and a positive attitude toward the future.
Recent legislation requires accommodations for students with learning disabilities.
Some schools and colleges offer a minimal level of support through general resources such as tutorial writing and math centers. Others provide the services of a specialist who arranges for individualized support services. Additionally, there are schools and colleges which are comprised exclusively of students with learning disabilities. With the wide range of options available to learning disabled students, proper research is needed before choosing an educational program. An educational consultant gets to know you and your child.
