kbutton Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I subscribe to Understood.org's e-mails. They sent a series of links that was basically a primer on the evaluation process, and I thought it was nice to have them all in one place. Unfortunately, there is no page on their site (that I could find easily) that has all the links on them. I copied them below. Feel free to chime in with other good articles on the subject.

Kanin Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Wow, this is great, thank you! I wish there was a standard process to go through for evaluations. I mean, every district has their own ways that are vaguely the same, but why can't there be a national process that's spelled out clearly? *dreaming!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanin Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Yes, the site is laid out well. I guess I'm thinking of something more parent-friendly. Even when I click on the parent resources tab, it's confusing for me and I'm an educator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanin Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 In addition to your list above, this one is good too: http://www.ldonline.org/article/What_to_Do_If_You_Suspect_Your_Child_Has_a_Learning_Disability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
