This
site is the National Center for Learning Disabilities (LD.org.) The information presented on the website
recognizes that even though educators may be teaching a group of students with
varying ability levels, teaching the individual within the group who is
learning disabled, is a challenge for even the most creative teacher.
It
is vitally important for teachers to be able to provide accommodations for
students with learning disabilities when test dates are rolling around. The

with Disabilities), which ensures that students with disabilities are provided
with appropriate accommodations for all standardized testing. Information on
eligibility, the application process, important dates, needed documentation,
and contact information is provided. Great site!
