Book excerpt: The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has created this Parent Guide to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) so parents can become informed and effective partners with school personnel in supporting their child's special learning and behavioral needs. It is hoped that parents will use this IDEA Parent Guide to understand: (1) How the federal law generally works in most states; (2) What the law requires to determine whether a child has a learning disability; (3) What is new to IDEA since Congress last updated the law in 2004; (4) What questions parents should ask and what information parents should prepare in order to be a full and active advocate for their child; and (5) What resources are available to parents. In developing this IDEA Parent Guide, NCLD has worked with parents of students with learning disabilities from around the country. Together, they have tried to address the questions, challenges and barriers parents face as they navigate their way through the special education process. Parents have also contributed their own personal stories so that other parents can hear first-hand that they are not alone in this journey.

Learning disabilities make it more challenging to learn how to read, write, do math, listen, and speak. Learning disabilities are lifelong conditions that can be very successfully managed, but never go away. Once you have a learning disorder, you have it for life. The term learning disability encompasses many different learning differences. The three main types of learning disabilities are: reading disabilities, written language disabilities, and math disabilities. Each type of LD can include several different disorders. Learning disabilities are successfully managed with proper identification and academic intervention. This book helps those parents who are going through this challenging situation with that is the time you need some straight up simple information and support.

This book is not set to right the wrongs of the world, but it will explain what learning disabilities is, and tell you what to look for whilst also sharing with you how to speak with professionals and to discuss the plans with your child's teacher. Learning difficulties are not a reflection of intelligence, but they often get in the way of academic achievement and can result in feelings of frustration, anxiety and embarrassment for a child who is less able to progress at the same rate as his or her peers in a conventional classroom setting.
