Children who may have a disability often exhibit signs that their
development is not typical at a very early age. The presence of
significant delays in specific areas of development, when other
skills are age appropriate, could indicate that your child has a
learning disability.
Here are many helpful resources to help you understand the early
signs of learning disabilities, early assessments and ways to help
your child.
