LD and ADHD Newsletter

Dear Parents,

Relax and create Christmas memories with your family. Watch a Christmas movie, read a Christmas book, or sing some Christmas carols while you sit by the fire.

Your child can improve her math skills while she helps Santa get ready. Also, encourage her to pen Christmas stories so she won't neglect her writing while on winter break.

Plus, learn about the diagnosis and characteristics of Asperger's syndrome.

		Join in this discussion on our Message Boards about a 14-year-old who can't read: "My problem is my 14-year-old who can't read. School thinks it's OK to give him a reader and scriber when needed, but I think this isn't encouraging him to try. I've tried everything I can think of but don't seem to be getting anywhere and now he is being laughed at by his so-called friends." — lorcun
