Q: If you demonstrate symptoms or suspect that you may have a LD, the first step toward seeking help is to contact your personal doctor. Your physician will discuss your options with you, and more specifically, look for any further symptoms. If necessary, your physician can point you in the proper direction for further screening.  This is not a diagnosis, but rather, only the first step of several that are required to be properly diagnosed. Being properly diagnosed includes initial consultation, screening, and then final diagnosis. Screening is an informal process that takes place between you and a LD advocate. After you have been screened, your advocate will inform you whether-or-not you should pursue further diagnosis.  Screening is relatively inexpensive. It consists of observation, an interview, and brief testing.  Mental health clinics and state rehabilitation agencies can provide initial consultation.  Mental health clinics and local universities oftentimes provide assessments that are priced on a sliding scale. This does not necessarily mean your medical physician--most general practitioners are not licensed to diagnose LDs--but instead, a clinical or neurological psychologist. After your advocate is finished evaluating all of the information, you will need to meet with him or her again in order to discuss the results. During this meeting your advocate will diagnose and provide you with a written report that details your specific LD. This report will provide learning specialists with the information that they need to provide you with any further help. This report can also be used to make a request for special accommodations at school or work. When you return to discuss the results of your evaluation, be sure to ask your advocate about anything that is unclear to you.   Are there any terms that you do not understand? Are you unclear as to what to do next? Or what your advocate expects?
A: Consult your personal medical physician. Get screened for a LD. Be formally evaluated by a qualified professional. Return for consultation. Ask questions.

Q: If you are exchanging something of significant value with someone, such as your labor or services, intellectual property, or material goods, you should have a contract in place.  For many people, common situations that involve contracts include purchasing a home, selling or buying a car, or beginning employment. Other common situations could include hiring a construction crew to remodel your house, offering your services for a certain period of time, or publishing a creative work, such as a book. Contracts have three essential elements: an offer, an acceptance of that offer, and sufficient “consideration,” or what each party will “get” out of the contract. The contract should be written in such a way that the parties involved clearly understand the contract without an attorney to interpret it. This will help all parties be clear about their obligations. A contract also protects everyone involved in case the contract is breached or unfulfilled. You should only form a contract with someone who has the authority to carry out the contract (like a company's owner or CEO). Furthermore, a contract will not be legally valid unless everyone involved is an adult with the legal ability, or “capacity,” to enter into a contract. Capacity is usually determined by a person’s age and mental competence. The following considerations should be taken into account.  In almost all cases, a contract is not legally valid unless the parties involved are at least 18 years of age. Look up the laws in your state if you think your case might be an exception. If a minor wishes to enter into a contract, a guardian may, in some circumstances, do so on their behalf. In most states, an emancipated minor can enter into a contract as if he or she were an adult.  All parties must have the mental capacity to fully understand the contract. Even an adult may not be capable of understanding what the contract requires him or her to do. For example, a person with a severe intellectual disability might be unable to understand his or her legal rights and obligations. This person could not enter into a legally binding contract.  A contract is usually, but not always, void if either party is intoxicated or otherwise mentally impaired when the contract is signed.  A contract is also void if it is entered under duress or coercion. For example, if a robber is holding you at gunpoint and you verbally agree to go to your bank and give him/her all your money, this is not a valid contract because both parties did not willingly enter into the agreement. In a legal contract, something of value has to be exchanged for something else of value. This benefit is called the “consideration.” It can be services, cash, goods, intellectual property, or the promise to exchange one of these items. The terms of the contract must be clear to be enforceable.  For example, you could write a contract with these terms: “Sujata agrees to sell her car to Jack for $5,500 on December 13, 2014.“ It is clear who is promising to do what, and when it is to be done. Both parties agree that the exchange is fair. However, you could not write a contract with the following terms: “Shao agrees to do something, to be determined later, for Sue in exchange for Sue’s payment of whatever money she has at that point.” These terms are unclear; there is no certainty about what will be done, when it will be done, or what will be given in return. This contract is unenforceable, even if both parties have agreed to it. The consideration should be adequate in a fair contract. For example, if Joan promises to pay Dev $25,000 for a house worth $150,000, this is unlikely to be considered adequate consideration. If Joan promises to pay Dev $140,000 for a house worth $150,000, however, this would likely be considered adequate consideration because it is close to the real value of the object. For a contract to be legal, an offer must be made and accepted. Before you write up a contract, all parties should have the same general idea about what the contract will stipulate; this is usually in the form of “if X happens, then Y will occur.” In legal terms, this is known as a “meeting of the minds,” or mutual agreement.  Having a discussion about the terms beforehand saves time, because if the information in the contract is not acceptable to one of the parties, it will have to be revised.  For example, your contract may say “Mr. Smith will sell Ms. Brown his 2012 Toyota Prius in exchange for $12,000.” The price and details of the exchange were likely agreed to prior to the contract being written. All parties must mutually assent to the terms of the contract. This means that they agree to the contract without being forced or coerced to do so. All parties should be treated fairly and honestly. All parties should do everything they can to abide by the contract's requirements.
A: Determine whether you need a contract. Be aware of the basic requirements of all contracts. Make sure all parties are legally able to participate. Plan to exchange something of value. Ensure all parties are in agreement. Come to an agreement in good faith.

Q: If you know why the dog is underweight, such as a bitch that has recently raised a litter of strong, greedy puppies, or a rescue dog has been mistreated, then fattening up the dog will be relatively straight forward. Be sure to monitor the dog who is underweight, so that you can find any issues that might be easy to fix. For example, if you have several dogs, the answer can be as simple as the other dogs stealing your underweight dog's food. All kinds of illnesses can interfere with the body's ability to process food and get the goodness out of it, leading to weight loss. If this is the case, the dog will almost certainly show some signs including decreased appetite, increased thirst, lack of energy, vomiting, diarrhea, or a change of body shape.  Conditions that can cause weight loss include lack of pancreatic enzymes, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, kidney disease, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease.  Again, if you notice any of these symptoms then a vet check is for the best. If you suspect your dog is ill, or if you notice unexplained weight loss, it's best to consult a vet. If your dog suddenly has a poor appetite for no reason, it's also best to consult a professional before the problem gets out of control. Once the vet gives the all clear, and you know you just have a fussy dog, then there are a variety of strategies that can help improve its appetite.
A:
Figure out if there is a logical reason your dog is underweight. Assess the overall health of your dog. Get your dog checked by a veterinarian.
