REVIEW:
Teachers, students, parents or others who are interested in the learning disabled will find lots of useful information at LD Online. Teachers will find help with such topics as differentiating instruction and behavior modification as well as "ideas and strategies for teaching students with learning disabilities from outstanding and experienced teachers". Included is a teaching tip of the week, research digest, free newsletters, recommended reading and bulletin boards for discussions. Information and essays are available for helping parents to understand what learning disabilities are, types of disabilities and a comprehensive brochure about Learning Disabilities in both English and Spanish. Parents are also offered advice on how to select professional help as well as a list of professionals, products and learning centers or camps that can help. The Kid Zone gives students the opportunity to submit their artwork and writing for publication, speak up on the issues that concern them and learn about the IEP by listening to audio clips from A Student Guide to the IEP. Included for children is a scavenger hunt and suggested booklist for helping them to handle their learning disability. Additionally, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist will answer parents' questions.
