We at LD OnLine understand the special challenges facing families of English language learners with learning disabilities. The assessment process can be more difficult for a child whose native language is not English, and it can be frustrating to determine whether a child is having a problem in school because of a language barrier or because of a learning disability.
To help, articles on the following topics are available in both Spanish and English:
