Online discussion on learning disabilities set

Often times, children are not identified at birth as having a disability, but rather exhibit more subtle issues between the ages of 3 and 5. With that in mind, the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has scheduled an online discussion, "Services Under IDEA for Your Preschool-age Child," for Monday, September 24, from noon to 1:00 p.m. Eastern time.

NCLD notes that the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) was created for children from birth to age 21. Luzanne Pierce, the author of NCLD's Parent Advocacy Brief Preschool Services Under IDEA, will share information and answer questions.

For further information or to submit an advance question, visit the following page on the NCLD website. No special equipment other than Internet access is needed to participate in this text-based discussion. A transcript will be posted shortly after the discussion.
