It's back to school season, and we want students, parents, educators, and professionals to feel prepared and ready to embrace the new year. This month we'll be sharing resources about helping with school anxiety, accommodations for postsecondary education, empowering self-advocacy, and more.

When Laura Jackson found her daughter had dyscalculia, she learned as much as she could about the SLD for six years. After her difficulty finding resources, she created a website and blog called Discovering Dyscalculia to help others to find the information she didn't have at the time.
