Website Spotlight: Understood

Brevard County K-12 students go back to school on Friday, August 10. This is an excellent time to consider learning and attention issues that affect some children's ability to read, write, and/or do math. If these issues are ignored, students will struggle to learn, leading to frustration, stress, and unhappiness. Fortunately, there is a useful website for these students' parents. Founded through a partnership of 15 nonprofits, Understood contains numerous articles and other resources such as quizzes, slideshows, and decision guides. Also on the website are tools like Parenting Coach and Tech Finder and groups in which parents can communicate with each other and experts. Understood aims to help parents understand their children's learning disabilities and obtain information they need to improve the children's educational experience. To access these learning resources, go to https://www.understood.org/en. I wish everyone in education a safe and successful school year!
