Many students with LD don’t like school. They find the work too hard or too boring. Some kids have bad experiences or don’t have their needs met. Understanding your Learning Disability and what can be done to help takes time and effort.

You might wonder why bother? THIS IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT YOU, and you will benefit for the rest of your life if you learn how to help yourself now. You need to believe in yourself. Remember, no one is good at everything – Like all people, people with LD have talents and skills that are unique! You also deserve and will require to be treated respectfully if you are to find those special talents. Like all children and youth, you need support and understanding!

At school, there are many people involved in making sure you receive an appropriate education. You need to take responsibility for knowing what you are entitled to and what you are responsible for in your education.

Finding the appropriate resources to support your child’s needs requires an understanding of your child’s learning needs, knowledge of the policies and processes that govern their education and effective communication skills.

One of the most challenging aspects of advocating for your child is to understand and negotiate the complex maze of special education regulations, policies, and laws that control how your child’s educational programs and services are delivered over his/her thirteen years of education. You are the most important advocate for your child. The Guardian booklet helps you understand what your child is entitled to and how to access it.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”/wp-content/uploads/rights_guardian.pdf” url_new_window=”on”
