LD and ADHD Newsletter

Dear Parents,

Does your child have trouble reading? It could be dyslexia. Find out if your child needs to be tested for this disorder, and find tips on reading strategies to get your child hooked on books!

Learning disabled kids run the risk of developing low self-esteem. If your child is exhibiting bad behavior, it may be due to emotional stress related to her disability. There are ways that you can foster a healthy self-image in your child, to ensure she grows up happy and healthy.

The beginning of fall is a great time for some outdoor family fun. Start the day off with some delicious pumpkin pancakes to give everyone energy for leaf-gazing, pumpkin picking, and other great fall activities.
