A new look for our LD OnLine community!

We're excited to announce the redesign of LDOnLine.org — a fresh, accessible site that is seamless to use across all your devices.

LD OnLine knows that there are many different ways to learn, and having the right tools at school and at home can change everything. For more than 25 years we've provided educators and families with accurate, authoritative information about learning disabilities and ADHD so you can obtain the help you need.

We're very grateful for our ongoing partnership with the National Education Association. Their generous grant has made this relaunch possible, and it affirms the NEA's commitment to literacy, equity, and achievement for all of our students.
