Welcome to Parent Talk

Summertime offers a much-needed break for your child with learning disabilities and you. Now, when the day-to-day pressures of the regular school year are “on vacation,” you can use this as an opportunity to reflect back on your child’s recent school year and prepare for the coming one.

If your child is struggling with learning, attention, or behavior, there may be any number of reasons why. Join Parent Leader Dr. Debbie Walhof as she addresses your questions about what to do when you suspect that something "isn't right" and the type of guidance you can expect to receive.

As a parent, you are a critical member of your child’s IEP team. Join NCLD’s Parent Leader, Mark Halpert, as he shares options for what you can do if you think your child’s IEP isn’t doing enough to help your child and how to make sure your child is on track for achieving his or her full potential if they have a 504 plan rather than an IEP.

Parents of children with learning disabilities (LD) and children and adults with LD still face huge misunderstanding about what learning disabilities are…and what they’re not. When you hear an uneducated remark from a neighbor, colleague, coach, relative, or even from someone at the grocery store, how do you deal with it? Join NCLD’s Parent Leader, Marcie Lipsitt, as she helps us demystify learning disabilities.
