AAP Core Values. We believe in
the inherent worth of all children. They are our most enduring
and vulnerable legacy. Children deserve optimum health and
require the highest quality health care. Pediatricians (primary
care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists, and
pediatric surgical specialists) are the best qualified of
all health professionals to provide child health care. A dynamic
organization is necessary to advance these values. The American
Academy of Pediatrics is that organization. |

Learning.org
A premier
site for anyone who has a child with learning disabilities.
Our vision is to help kids with learning differences be successful
in learning and life. In order to accomplish this, we'd like
to be your guide through the LD journey. While anxiety about
LD generally is high, parents often have a limited understanding
of learning differences. Our goal is to change that, because
an informed parent is the best advocate for a child with LD.
We've been providing LD information and resources to parents
since 1988. We've conducted studies to understand how LD impacts
the child, the parent and the family. We've combined our experience
with our findings in this Web site in order to help parents
become agents of success in their children's lives.
