This Learning Awareness Blog is for people who have kids with learning issues. By learning issues, I mean problems like Learning Disorders (aka Learning Disabilites), ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, Autistic Spectrum Disorders and other Developmental issues. Our kids, these kids, with learning issues, are smart and talented. They are absolutely great kids ....well most of the time ; ) ..... Despite their many assets, they tend to have trouble in school. Maybe they don't struggle with all subjects - it could be a specific subject like math or writing..... It could be they are disorganized and always forgetting to bring in their homework or their work is very messy..... It could be they have trouble staying focused .... I could go on but I think you are getting the general idea. So ... my intention here is to have a place to discuss issues and provide information.

Currently I am living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am a Clinical Psychologist although I am not currently  practicing. And I have a kid with a learning disorder. And I've got a bit of experience with academic problems.

So please bear with me while I try to figure out this blog thing and hopefully we can all help each other : ))
