STM PALS: Parent-Recommended Resources

Initial Guidance, Before Diagnosis:

  • Educate yourself – to recognize signs and symptoms of learning differences.
  • Communicate with your child’s teacher and a Learning Specialist – to fully understand your child’s observed behavior and performance in the classroom and at school.
  • Check with your public school district – to determine if your family is eligible to take advantage of any special education resources and learn procedures for obtaining that support.
  • Seek professional evaluations – to rule out physical impairments (such as a vision or hearing problem), identify whether or not a learning difference exists, and begin to formulate an appropriate action plan for home and at school.
