Five Steps for Parents

by Ellen Goldberg

Children with learning disabilities (LD) have to give it their all to be successful — and they need their parents to be supportive and patient, and to advocate on their behalf. Here are five important things you can do:

Recognize, accept, and understand your child's LD.
Find your child's strengths.
Find ways to support your child's disability.
Encourage unique special interests.
Don't feel guilty if you can't always work with your child — just get the right help.
