NCLDโs new report finds that students with learning disabilities make up 31% of Pre-ETS participants, yet only 4.4% of eligible students are taking part. The gap is clear. Expanding awareness and access can help more students prepare for employment: ncld.co/4vNcNbB

Time is a major barrier for teachers supporting students with LD. NCLDโs report finds many have resources & support, but without enough time, those efforts can't fully reach students.
Letโs ensure teachers have time to help every student succeed: ncld.co/48oXcWd

Only 17% of novice general educators feel completely confident adapting instruction for students with LD, compared with 60% of novice special educators. Inclusive classrooms need better support for the teachers leading them. Read NCLDโs report: ncld.co/4e3Hcg3
