The website uses a lot of color, images, graphics and some animation. Each section page is configured differently
but blends into the overall site.

|
ORGANIZATION:
The navigational menu bar uses different colors for each area of the website and is at the top of each page. A link back to

REVIEW:
This website has a lot of information but fortunately it is very well organized and includes a search bar that
allows users to find resources and information on particular disorders or topics. Other sections include a what's
new area (this includes an archive of past additions to the site), The "ABCs of LD/ADD" explain about learning disabilities
and "LD In Depth" has links to expert articles on a variety of topics. A related site, "Finding Help" has links to resources
for different learning problems. The site includes mini-biographies of successful people with learning disabilities and audio
clips from experts as well. A special section is devoted to children and includes games and activities. Additionally, bulletin
boards are set up for users to communicate with each other. This site delivers on its promises and definitely is a site for
educators, parents and children concerned with learning disabilities.
