I have been involved with Smart Kids for 11 years. I joined when my then 7 year old son was struggling so badly in school that he would physically shake with anxiety, was unable to focus at all in school, was incapable of making friends. Because of the support I found in this organization, plus the invaluable and practical information it provided to me, my son is now attending a well-respected college and receiving straight A's! Smart Kids told me he could get there and without their support, I am not sure he would. Thank you Smart Kids!

As a parent of a child with ADHD, the amount of information available can be both overwhelming and lacking. Both the SKLD newsletters and website cut through the clutter and deliver high-quality and practical information that makes dealing with learning challenges a little bit easier.

I have found this organization to be so helpful as I have navigated life with two ADHD boys. Their articles are insightful and timely and their advice is practical. I highly recommend them to everyone I know who also has smart kids who struggle because of ADHD.

This is an awesome organization! I first saw their newsletter in a speech therapist office waiting room...Yes it was a paper copy then. I was amazed at how the articles were talking about MY son! I really thought no other child has his issues...what's wrong with my son. But here in black and white this newsletter was talking about the same issues my son struggled with. Each month when I got the newsletter in the mail I would drop what I was doing and read it front to back. It was a life saving resource and I do mean this literally! It changed my entire outlook and armed me with so many valuable resources. I can't say enough about them. Joanna Kline (son Jesse Kline was the 2007 Smart Kid Award Winner).

I have gotten a lot of useful information from the emails that are sent that include links to resources that I have used and have made a difference.

This organization has posted many articles that have helped me become more informed on being the best advocate I can be to help my child with learning disabilities and ADHD. Thank you.

My 8yr old son was diagnosed with non-verbal learning disorder earlier this year, and I was desperate to find any and all resources I could to learn more about how his brain works, how to communicate with others about NLD, and most importantly, how to help him. Smart Kids has been a wonderful resource for our family and his school, and one of the only resources I've found with targeted information about NLD. I have passed this website on to family members, other parents, and educators. Thank you for this comprehensive resource!

I teach technology and Engineering in middle school. I do not remember how long I have subscribed to SKWLD but it has been an invaluable tool to me and my student/parents. The information and research, have led me to many solutions in the classroom for my struggling students as well as my accomplished. One blog and e-news I will keep for years to come.

Where do you go in a world of typical learners? This website has been a source of educational material as well as a location to read stories to know we are not alone on this atypical academic road. Start as early as you can and learn as much as you can so you can carry your "learning differenced " child to college and beyond

I love receiving the email newsletters from Smart Kids! I read it every time I get them and I share the information with my family and teachers. I have a son who has multiple learning disabilities and was diagnosed of ADHD at the age of 4. Since he started elementary school, he was also diagnosed with emotional disability, speech/language delay, sensory disability, and executive functioning disability.

When I first learned about my son’s diagnosis of ADHD, it was very overwhelming. I had no idea the magnitude of how ADHD and other learning disabilities can affect one’s life. I imagined that no matter how much I read about it and talked to teachers and parents who have gone through the same challenges, that there would be an easy fix. My son is now 7 years old and we are still continuing to see these challenges. It’s a lot better now than where we first started. Thanks to the support of Smart kids, family and friends, and teachers in our community.

Smart kids has been a huge impact on my life as I read the newsletters and visit the website often searching for answers and clarification. The information on the website is empowering and gives me hope that my son can excel in school and in life with his multiple disabilities. I’m not alone in this journey. I’m just one of many parents who have daily challenges. The website is a wonderful, smart, genius non-profit hub that I will continue to support as new information is always presented from a professional, educational, clinical, and research background that I respect.

I have taken so many notes from Smart kids and I appreciate very much what a great job you are all doing. Keep up the great work!

Thank you!

Our son was basically left on our own resources by his school after a farce of a PPT meeting. I was intoduced by accident to SKLD at a presentation at my library. I was introduced to a myriad of resources that I only wished I had known of 5 years earlier! Through them, we found a means to have him tested and then a therapist. We also found out how approach then school after endless road locks were thrown in our path.

Smart kids is a wonderful organization that was started to empower parents of children with different learning styles . The information is most helpful in giving tips on how you can help your children and gain support for yourself in parenting in a somewhat difficult landscape . The more you know the more you are empowered to help your child. It has been such a huge help for me in parenting my son with ADHD and learning disabilities . I encourage everyone to check it out.

I have received emails from smart kids and I tell you, the information that is presented is always on time and relevant to my needs. I have a child with a learning disability. It's a GREAT resource and I hope to always have access. Thank you

When you have a child with a learning disability you spend a great deal of time researching and trying to find information to help your child. Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities puts it all together in one website. It's a great resource for parents.

Smart Kids has helped me as a parent access important information for my child to succeed in school. Experts who are in the field of education and parenting have helped me be the most supportive parent of my ADHD child I can be. And what I learn is part of a continuum!

Consistent, high-quality articles that educate parents on issues of concern for their children with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD. They often have a unique viewpoint that I haven't found elsewhere. I feature their work often on the Pinterest page about ADHD that I manage. My only regret is that they don't feature pictures, so I have to create a poster each time I Pin from the site. The content, however, is worth the extra work.

I'm sure every parent who suddenly finds out their child has special needs does what we did; look for information, understanding and support. We found it at SKWLD and are very grateful for their work. It helps to give our child's difference a validation.

Smart Kids provided a life line at a time when our family needed it most. Our son was struggling significantly in school, and his needs were not being addressed successfully. We found a supportive community in Smart Kids and the research provided within the newsletters offered answers to some of our questions. Also, inspirational stories of adults with learning disabilities who achieved success offered comfort and hope to our son at a critical time in his life.

I can't recall how I learned about the website Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities, but I am so grateful that I did. I've found it full of informative articles about the issues that my children are dealing with, articles that not only provide great insight into their struggles, but also suggest helpful steps for dealing with them. This is a well-organized, obviously carefully thought-out site. Keep up the good work!

My son is profoundly dyslexic and has auditory processing issues. Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities is a great resource for parents trying to identify if their child has a LD and how to connect with others with LDs. with Smart Kids there is no reason for a parent to navigate the tricky waters of ensuring that his/her child gets everything that necessary for success in life. My son was the recipient of last year's Fred Epstein Award given by Smart Kids and he couldn't have been prouder. The gala was an amazing opportunity to meet so many accomplished people with LDs. It really had a positive impact on him.
