Dear Colleagues,
In the US, studies indicate that 5 percent of students in the
public schools have a learning disorder. Children with learning
disabilities may be eligible for special education and related
services under the Individuals with Disabilities Act. The Act
requires that an Individual Education Program (IEP) be created
to meet the child's educational needs. Today's newsletter focuses
on issues related to learning disorders and other school problems.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
