What to do



As a professional who works with an individual or individuals with LD, the most important thing to do is to educate yourself about the challenges and opportunities that present themselves to those with LD. Browse through the following materials in order to assist yourself in getting a better understanding of this condition. (Note that although many of these resources are originally created for teachers, they are still useful for anyone who works with those with LD.)

Please note: some files not yet available.

Resources on AD/HD

AD/HD is a neurological disorder, and can often require special attention from teachers and people who work with those with LD. (File not currently available, please check back soon!)

Assistive Technology Resources

Students with LD can benefit from assistive technologies. See this file for an overview of what assistive technologies are available, and how you can help students integrate these technologies into their scholastic life.

Preparing students with LD for University or College

Post-secondary education is a reasonable goal for students with learning disabilities. With the proper support and help to make healthy and informed choices, these students can have productive and successful scholastic careers. (File not currently available, please check back soon!)

Spotting the Signs

Teachers are often the first to see the signs of learning disabilities – and it’s more than just poor grades. These signs change with growth stages, and are not always as obvious as you might think. Read this file to find out how to see the signs that a child has LD.

How To Help a Student With Literacy Issues

Often it can be difficult to assist a pupil with such a different learning style, in the way that those with LD do. See this document in order to assist with teaching reading and writing to an individual with LD.
