I was looking for sites that would be helpful for parents, and I found "Smart Kids: Learning Disabilities."
There is a place for parents to read the basic information about LD and find the specific LD that their child has/may have. There is information on how to "navigate the system" and what their child's rights are. The site contains success stories and available programs. The "Parents Community" is also a valuable resource for helping parents connect with each other for support and make information exchanges. Another feature of the site is that there is a place where parents can select the age group that their child fits under: Pre-K, Elementary, Middle, High School, and College. There is a section to help with signs and symptoms to guide parents. Overall, it is an excellent resource.

Knowing the signs and symptoms is helpful when trying to identify a learning dissability. Once the disability is identified it is helpful to have a support group and methods for improving education.
