LDonline

[|LDonline] is a huge collection of resources for everything relating to learning disabilities and difficulties. Though the site appears cluttered at first it is actually quite easy to navigate. It contains resources for parents and teachers, as well as an area for children to share their artworks and stories and a place where all effected by learning difficulties can share their stories of living with or working with or having a learning disability.

Though it does contain a section for students, I don't believe this is a site they can use on their own, or even under supervision. Instead I would use this as an incentive, they can write a story and it can be published online. This is important for them because writing must have a real world purpose. Art could be similarly displayed there should they wish. The best way to use this site though would be in the planning process. Their resources are well written and give you a firm idea of what can work and how to implement it. I would definitely recommend looking to this site the first chance you get.

I also looked at LD Online as a useful online resource for teachers.

LD Online is a website that claims to be the ‘world’s leading website on learning disabilities and ADHD’. This resource is a useful website for teachers to further their knowledge on students with disabilities, to create new ideas on how to teach and adapt their classroom for students with disabilities and to find support.

It explains instructional strategies for teachers in regards to:
 * [|Differentiating instruction]
 * [|Assessment]
 * [|Language and reading skills]
 * [|Learning strategies]
 * [|Teaching mathematics]
 * [|Teaching writing]
 * [|Using technology in the classroom]

The website also provides information each month given by psychiatrist Dr. Larry Silver, lawyer Matt Cohen, and educational technology expert Dr. Tracy Gray. These three experts answer selected questions from parents and educators about learning disabilities and ADHD. This service provides teachers with another resource in finding information and creating ideas that they can use within their own classroom. Having a resource such as this website provides a place for teachers to gain background information, ideas, expert advice and support in teaching students with disabilities.
