Learning difficulty or Learning disability?
They have said he isn’t entitled to one, as he is coded as having
Learning
difficulties and not
Learning
disabilities
and they can’t find any letters to say he has
learning
disabilities
, only ones that state
Learning
difficulties.

IEP & 504?
She has an IEP for "
learning
disabilities
". We had her privately evaluated and she was diagnosed with ADHD. We are requesting a 504 for ADHD and want to keep the IEP in place for the learning disability. The accommodations would co exist. Does anyone have experience with this?

Enjoyable museum visits
I'm helping our local museum become more welcoming to people with
disabilities
, including
learning
disabilities
. My autistic 23 year old son loved the visit, because they have a small sensory room, toys and a few exhibits that spin.

learning
disabilities
assessment to keep getting help from a family support worker, but He said that He would chase my ASD assessment instead.
