There are numerous toll-free numbers offering bits of information, guidance and suggestions. Despite the useful services that these toll-free numbers provide, many people are confused about exactly what information they can expect to receive. The following resource list, compiled by the National Adult Literacy and Learning Disabilities Center, is designed to give an overview of what information the following organizations give to their callers. Operators accept orders for publications, fact sheets, posters, and a resource directory for people with disabilities, including learning disabilities. They do not answer questions relating to employment but can give referrals to local EEOC offices.
All information is specific to the disability, including learning disabilities.
A catalog and newsletter are also available. Information is given on publications about dyslexia, referrals for testing and tutors, branches of ODS, and workshops and conferences.
