Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be notified when new resources are posted on the website?
Sign up for our bi-weekly newsletter, where we share all new and updated resources from LDAO initiatives, including LD@school, TA@l’école, and LD@home. Click here to sign up for our newsletter.
I would like to link to the LD@school website. How do I get permission?
You do not require permission to link to any of LDAO’s websites. We encourage you to share our resources widely to help educators, families, and individuals access valuable tools and information across Ontario. Feel free to link to our websites from your school or organization’s website, newsletters, or other communications to ensure these resources reach as many people as possible.
What is the difference between evidence-based, evidence-informed, and practice-informed?
- Evidence-based: Articles describe practices, approaches, or strategies strongly supported by research as effective for students with LDs.
- Evidence-informed: Articles describe practices, approaches, or strategies with components supported by research as effective for students with LDs.
- Practice-informed: Articles describe strategies and approaches proven effective through classroom practice, highlighting best practices educators have successfully used for students with LDs.
Where can I access resources for my students?
LDAO’s websites, including LD@school, LD@home, and TA@l’école, offer a wide range of resources to support educators, students, and families. Many tools, such as printable handouts, lesson plans, and classroom posters, can be used directly with students or shared with families.
For family-focused resources, we recommend exploring LD@home, which provides strategies, guides, and tools for supporting learning at home, particularly for students with LDs and ADHD. Please share LD@home with families broadly through school and classroom newsletters, especially when students are struggling or undergoing a professional assessment.
