With its complex rules and often confusing wording, making the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) apply to any child is a challenge. But for families with children who struggle to learn, navigating the NCLB Act can be overwhelming.
The National Center for Learning Disabilities has teamed with Schwab Learning to address the special issues, challenges, and opportunities for children with special learning needs. Together, they have produced a free publication available to the public, entitled: "Making the 'No Child Left Behind Act' Work for Children Who Struggle to Learn."
Whether it’s a child who is showing early signs of learning difficulty or a student receiving special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), it is likely that No Child Left Behind Act is already affecting millions of children’s education in important ways.
This guide introduces parents to several key parts of NCLB that they can use as tools to improve educational services for their child. It is hoped that the guide will help parents navigate the complexities of NCLB, to begin to understand its many new provisions and with this knowledge, equip parents to further their advocacy efforts on the behalf of their child.
