When you figure out how you learn, you can accomplish whatever you want.

According to the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), 19% of children with learning disabilities drop out of high school. We at Windsor Law LLC believe that the number is too high. So, we strive to empower parents and students with every available tool to reduce that number. This is a directory of resources for parents and students. As we find new resources, we post them here. We welcome suggestions of other resources we can share with clients and other parents. If you come across something we need to share, please let us know.
