Higher Education for Children with Learning Disabilities

One area that we will discuss on this blog is educational reform for children that have been in foster care or have been adopted.

Some background information about learning disabilities in adopted children can be found here http://tinyurl.com/5vg2tdx “Significantly more adopted children had LD than nonadopted children (20.4% vs 9.3%, respectively).”
