As #LDAwarenessMonth comes to a close, we're sharing one final clip from NCLD CEO Dr. Jacqueline Rodriguez's interview on NBC News Daily. Watch the segment below. ⬇️ #KnowLD

Thank you to @RepJulieBrownley and @RepHouchin for introducing H. Res. 1592, a bipartisan resolution recognizing October 2026 as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month! We appreciate their leadership in bringing attention to LD and supporting students. #LDAwarenessMonth

KNOW LD: IDEA and Section 504 Are Both Critical Laws IDEA and Section 504 both provide important protections for students with disabilities, but they are different federal laws. Understanding the difference can help families know what questions to ask to support their child.

Recognizing when a child may need additional learning support matters. In another clip from NBC News Daily, NCLD CEO Dr. Jacqueline Rodriguez discusses signs parents may notice and why persistent learning challenges deserve attention. #LDAwarenessMonth #KnowLD

📣 There's still time to make your voice heard this #LDAwarenessMonth! Help NCLD keep the momentum going by advocating to fully fund IDEA, support the RISE Act, and protect the U.S. Department of Education. Take action and contact Congress: ncld.co/4BuwDvC

Think your child may have a learning disability? NCLD CEO Dr. Jacqueline Rodriguez shares a few first steps on NBC News Daily: look for patterns, talk with your child’s teacher, ask what supports are in place, and consider an evaluation. #LDAwarenessMonth

Here's a look at some of our team at the CLD Conference! NCLD's Saashya Rodrigo and Kate Bartlein shared insights on advancing learning disabilities advocacy through research and leadership. A great opportunity to exchange ideas and connect with colleagues!

Know LD: Intervention shouldn’t delay an evaluation. Supports like MTSS and Response to Intervention can help students who are struggling, but they should not delay or deny an IDEA evaluation when a disability is suspected. #KnowLD
