Hope and Help for Kids with LD and ADHD

Source: Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities
Topics: Dyslexia Interventions and Accommodations, more...

No one knows your child’s strengths and weaknesses better, or cares more about your child than you. That is why you are your child’s best possible advocate.

While there are many challenges for the child with learning disabilities and ADHD, there are also solutions. As a parent, you can help your child best by becoming well-informed about the exact nature of his/her difficulties — including the terms used by school and other professionals — as well as the strategies and support your child needs. You are then prepared to play an active role in helping him reach his potential.

Keep in mind that difficulty in school does not equate with lack of intelligence. Different kids excel at different things. Remember also that thousands of other parents have made this journey before you.

“It is important to remind people that children with learning disabilities are among our brightest and most gifted.”
— David Neeleman, Chairman, jetBlue Airways
Honorary Chairman, Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities
