You may also want to find a local tutor to work with your child. You can contact a tutor through a local university, church, library or in the yellow pages for your community. The LD OnLine Yellow Pages(opens in a new window) might also be helpful.
Lastly, school administrators and guidance counselors can help you locate services.
