Have you heard of Learning Ally?<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I first became aware of this wonderful organization back in 2000 when my son\u2019s struggle with Tourette\u2019s syndrome and dyslexia<\/a> made it difficult for him to focus on text. Back then, the organization was known as Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic<\/span>, but in 2011 they became simply\u00a0Learning Ally<\/span>.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Learning Ally<\/a> is a non-profit organization committed to helping dyslexic, blind, and visually impaired students thrive. They understand that for some kids, reading struggles hinder learning. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

They have made it their mission to help remove the barriers that hold kids back by providing them with audiobooks. Audiobooks help kids experience the many benefits of consuming text, but without the struggle of reading<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Learning Ally's online library<\/a> includes a huge selection of human-narrated textbooks and literature<\/a> for readers of all ages that can be downloaded and listened to on most computers, smartphones, and tablets. I am grateful to Learning Ally for giving my son access to text that he was unable to read fluently when he was a child. He enjoyed many<\/span> great books and was able to grow in vocabulary<\/a> and background knowledge because of the work that Learning Ally does. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\"Girl
