Understood | For Learning and Attention Issues
This website is an excellent resource to point parents of students with disabilities to. There is a section that allows them to see what it is like to have the same difficulties that their child does, which can help foster sympathy and understanding (hence the website name) and garner support at home. This can also be a powerful tool for teaching other students and teachers. There is also a customizable tip-guide that allows the parents to select things their child has trouble with, such as social skills, listening, and more, as well as their grade, and receive ideas on how to help their child. It even mentions UDL in the assistive technology section, and includes information about what rights their child has as a student. All of the language and articles are written in a very accessible way that uses a minimal amount of jargon, and explains in depth any acronyms.
