The Schwab Foundation for Learning - previously the Parents and Educators Resource Center - has announced its new name and unveiled a Web site that offers customized online help for parents, teachers and caregivers of children with learning differences.

In addition to a variety of online reference information, the site also allows parents and other adults with questions about caring for students with learning differences to receive individual responses from "professional resource consultants" by way of e-mail.

The site also provides online bulletin boards so parents, teachers and clinicians can post messages, a list of recommended books and videos, lesson plans and a complimentary copy of the LD Matters quarterly newsletter.

The nonprofit foundation was founded by discount brokerage pioneer Charles R. Schwab. Schwab and his wife, Helen, decided to launch the site after struggling to find useful information to benefit their 8-year-old son, who was diagnosed with dyslexia.
