Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear about the tough times your family has been going through. I hope things begin looking up, and that you're able to find the right resources to assist your daughter.

Below, I've included a link to an article put together by the National Center for Learning Disabilities that provides guidance for parents who suspect their child may have a learning disability. They advise collecting information about your child's school performance, talking to your child's teacher, and then working to get your child tested after getting her teacher involved.

I've also included the link to a Special Edition portal focused on Learning Disabilities that may contain more useful information.

Hope this helps!

If you suspect your child has special learning needs, you should contact the guidance counselor at the school she will be attending. If the school does not have a guidance counselor talk with the principal.

Call and ask for an appointment to talk with a school official and indicate it is about your child's special needs.

This should get immediate attention, recognizing that at the beginning of the school year it is a hectic time, so work cooperatively with the school.

Good luck!
