Take Our Poll!

Students with LD who leave high school and enter the workforce need to remember that:

	LD is not something to hide or be ashamed of
	Disclosing LD will be necessary to get needed accommodations
	Co-workers, supervisors and bosses may not have accurate information about LD and may attribute any struggles you experience are due to sloppiness or lack of effort
	While there is no “IEP” at work, you have rights and protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
	All of the above

Writing

If your student has trouble with spelling, handwriting, and putting thoughts on paper, it may be due to a learning disability (LD). Writing requires a complex set of motor and information processing skills, and there are ways to support their development, even if your child has an LD.

What's Dysgraphia?

Dysgraphia is a learning disability that can manifest itself as difficulties with spelling, poor handwriting and trouble putting thoughts on paper.
