Learning Resource GROUP
Dear parents,
The list of resources below was compiled by Arleen Matthews and current EB parents to provide a starting point for parents navigating the often-confusing process of learning about and supporting their children’s learning differences. Some of the resources are geared specifically towards parents of children with learning differences, but many of them are of interest to all parents. This page is intended as a source of information; EB does not endorse any of the organizations or individuals listed.
EB's Learning Resource Group meets periodically to discuss strategies for supporting our children in their education; check the online school calendar and do a search for "Learning Resources" for the date and time of the next meeting .
If you have any additional questions please contact me.
