Ben & Milo: My Guide to Moderate Learning Difficulties

🌟 Helping children understand MLD in a way that feels positive, reassuring and fun! 🌟

My Guide to MLD is a 10-page illustrated comic book about Moderate Learning Difficulties. It follows Ben and his dog Milo through school and home life, showing what learning can feel like when it takes a little longer, what helps, and all the things that make Ben who he is.

Children with MLD may need more time to learn new things, find big chunks of information confusing, or get tired with lots of writing. This comic helps them see themselves in Ben, understand that it's okay to need time, support and practice, and know that their difficulties do not define them. Created by The SEN Advocate.
