SITE REVIEW

November 2003

LD Online
Site about learning disabilities for teachers, parents, and paraprofessionals.
Grade Level: Professional

http://www.ldonline.org/

CONTENT:
LD Online provides information and resources on learning disabilities for parents, teachers, and other professionals.
AESTHETICS:
The site is bright and cheerful but not overdone with distracting graphics. It is fully accessible to everyone and includes a free download of software that will read the entire contents of the site for you.
ORGANIZATION:
The site is well organized and user friendly. There is a top navigation bar with links to the main areas of the site and a vertical column on the right side to help you quickly find categories of information for different target audiences about Learning Disabilities. Additionally, there is an onsite search tool.

REVIEW:
Teachers, students, parents or others who are interested in the learning disabled will find lots of useful information at LD Online. Teachers will find help with such topics as differentiating instruction and behavior modification as well as "ideas and strategies for teaching students with learning disabilities from outstanding and experienced teachers". Included is a teaching tip of the week, research digest, free newsletters, recommended reading and bulletin boards for discussions. Information and essays are available for helping parents to understand what learning disabilities are, types of disabilities and a comprehensive brochure about Learning Disabilities in both English and Spanish. Parents are also offered advice on how to select professional help as well as a list of professionals, products and learning centers or camps that can help. The Kid Zone gives students the opportunity to submit their artwork and writing for publication, speak up on the issues that concern them and learn about the IEP by listening to audio clips from A Student Guide to the IEP. Included for children is a scavenger hunt and suggested booklist for helping them to handle their learning disability. Additionally, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist will answer parents' questions.
