Learning Abled Kids is a resource and support site designed to provide families with information, curriculum resources, and tools to help you teach your bright child with learning issues at home. You'll find information about reading disabilities, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), ADD, ADHD, homeschool curriculum recommendations, tools for teaching and learning, and a whole lot more.

If you want help, support, or need some direction, please join our Yahoo! group! We have great parents who are home schooling children with specific learning disabilities, can relate to the challenges you face, and can help direct you to resources to help you overcome your child's struggles. We have a nice mix of people who can relate to almost any specific learning disability you are dealing with.

As you explore, your main navigational aide is the "Site Index". From any page, you can click on it to see a full menu. To get started, it will be helpful to understand the definition of a Specific Learning Disability.
