I have heard commercials for tutoring centers for students with learning disorder and ADHD. Can you give a recommendation as to which is best?

We do not endorse any specific programs, products, or professionals. We do offer a listing of professionals and organizations that provide services to children with learning disabilities:

• LD OnLine Yellow Pages

Also, the following agencies might be able to help you through this process:

• International Dyslexia Association at (888) ABC-D123
• Learning Disabilities Association (LDA) at (888) 300-6710.
• IDA Fact Sheet: How To Select and Academic Therapist
• Advice for Parents: What You Should Know Before Choosing A Professional

Ask potential tutors and consultants about their experiences and what they specialize in before you choose a provider. You want to make sure that the person you choose will be a good match for you and has experience working with children with issues similar to your child’s areas of need.
