"Helping children with learning disabilities can also be a big burden on their caregivers. We learn why it's important for caregivers to seek support themselves in order to better help kids who may be struggling. Plus, we learn about the Dyslexia Action Group of Naperville and the work they are doing to help parents of children with dyslexia."
