Understanding Learning Difficulties for Parents
Parent information on learning difficulties
A great place to start when looking for information about specific learning difficulties like dyslexia is the AUSPELD Understanding Learning Difficulties Guide for Parents available as a free download or in hard-copy through the SPELD NSW Bookshop.
This Guide has been designed and produced to provide parents and carers with current information about the nature of learning disabilities in children, and to offer practical guidance on the most appropriate identification, intervention and support.
