A few weeks ago PSMM members attended a luncheon to learn about the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), hosted by two Philly Social Media Moms, Colleen Padilla and Whitney Wingerd with Dr. Sheldon Horowitz leading a discussion about learning disabilities and how parents can find much needed support and information on LD.org.

Gina, author of Mom-Blog, shares the following:
Traditionally, people think of a learning disability as something that comes hand-in-hand with a type of condition such as autism or Down syndrome.  In reality, that is not an accurate description.  According to NCLD, learning disabilities are “a group of varying disorders that have a negative impact on learning.† Neuro-typical children can have learning disabilities and thus have difficulty learning in traditional settings, leading to high levels of high school and college drop out rates.
