LD and ADHD Newsletter

Dear Parents,

Choosing a treatment option for your child with ADHD can be overwhelming. Should he be on medication? Are there alternatives? Will behavior modification work? Our resources can help answer the difficult questions you may have about how to treat your child's disability.

If your LD child is struggling in school, alternative schooling and other services may help. Learn about classroom modifications, individualized education programs, and private programs.

Halloween is coming! Time to break out your favorite costume, whip up some spooky treats, and scare yourself silly with a trip to one of these frightful destinations. We've got activities and games to satisfy every little witch and warlock out there.
