All sites submitted to this category must be designed for use by kids / teens and provide general information on or about Learning Disabilities (LD).

Websites designed for parents or teachers, or to sell products or services, will not be accepted.

Sites dealing with specific disabilities (ADHD, Dyslexia, etc.) should be submitted to the applicable subcategory.

Learning Disabilities (LD) are believed to be caused by differences in the way the brain processes information. Children with LD may have problems with reading [dyslexia], writing [dysgraphia], or math [dyscalculia]. They may have trouble following verbal or written instructions, or translating thoughts to words.

People with LD are not "dumb" or "lazy." In fact, many have above-average intelligence. They simply process information differently.
