Just at Peak at What's In-store on LD@Home - Explanation of Accommodations, Modifications, and Alternate Expectations on the IEP

Hello everyone,

Over the new few weeks, I want to take the opportunity to share examples of what you can expect from the new LD@Home website.

With Term 2 IEPs coming home shortly, I thought it would be a great idea to share an article that has been posted on LD@Home that explains some of the different terminology you will see on your child's document.  The article is called, "Accommodations, Modifications & Alternative Skill Areas for Students with LDs"  and can be found under the "Living With LDs" section of the website, or you can click the link below.  It explains in non-teacher language the difference between the three and helps parents and students understand how the relate specifically to students with Learning Disabilities.  It's definitely worth the read! Stay tuned for more highlights from the website as it continues to grow!

New Website: LD@Home! Great for Parents!

The Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario has launched a new website for individuals diagnosed with a learning disability and their families.  This website has been built to help bring resources to the households impacted by Learning Disabilities (LDs). Their vision is to provide education, knowledge and resources to assist you in your journey, as well as a safe place to connect with the LDA network across Ontario for ongoing support. Over time, they hope to expand this site to cover all issues across a lifetime of living with LDs. In phase one of this project, they are focused on supporting the early years of the journey through elementary school for parents and students. 

Because the website is in its beginning phase,, the organization would appreciate any feedback you could offer.  They have sections titled "What Are LDs", "Living With LDs", "Events", and "Need More Help".  Please take the time to check it out and support this organization that has become a resource and friend to us here at Sagonaska.  Click the link below to be taken directly to the site.
