Inside an Evaluation for Learning Disorders
If your child is struggling in school, the first step to getting help is an evaluation. A learning evaluation can give you and your child’s teachers valuable information about your child’s strengths and weaknesses. It can also tell you what kind of support would be helpful. A full evaluation is necessary for a child to be diagnosed with a learning disorder. Read more here.

How to help kids who struggle with learning to write
Dysgraphia is a learning disorder that impairs one’s ability to write. Like all learning disabilities, it in no way means that your child isn’t smart, creative, and capable of success. In fact, with the right support, kids with dysgraphia can learn to write and do very well in school. Learn more here.

Many Hoosier families have either lost jobs or left the workforce due to COVID-19. From the job search to the interview, it takes time to find a job, and it’s even more difficult to do it with children at home to care for. To help, Indiana is providing temporary child care assistance so Hoosier parents can spend their time focusing on getting back to work. Families who qualify for On My Way PreK or CCDF financial support are also eligible job searching, participating in job training programs, interviewing, completing employment requirements and getting settled in their new job.
