"There is nothing shameful or wrong about a child
with special needs or a learning disbility.
Allah(swt) gave all of us; parent, teachers and child, this wonderful
challenge.
It's a chance to grow and to become more than we are.
It's a different way of learning and seeing things, alhumdilliah!"
-- Cynthia Sulaiman
Director, Muslim Home School Network and Resource, dyslexic
I think my child may have a learning
disability. How can I find out?
Talk to your pediatrician, consider having a Learning
Disability Assessment and an Individual Education Plan
(IEP) done. You can have IEPs done by your school district or by your
local children's hospital or city/state hospital. If your child is
diagnosed with a learning disability, learn ALL you
can about that disability. Some times schools that are pressed for
money refuse to have an IEP done for children. LD instruction sometimes
can cost more money.
YOU must become your
child's best advocate.
Look at all options, all philosophies of
treatment and types of tutoring. We are all different and there are
many options.
Don't be afraid to be objective if someting is not working. Don't
be afraid to change if necessary.
Organizations and Sites that carry information on many
learing disabilities have been list in the "general or umbrella"
section.
