Please send samples of stories or descriptions of events that involve learning disabilities and libraries, whether they're the result of these ideas or not, to Roads To Learning. See below for contact information. One in every seven people, or about fifteen thousand people in every hundred thousand, has a learning disability. But first they must be diagnosed, and then they need information on their options. The earlier this happens, the brighter the chances for a successful life.
Libraries are part of the solution.
Computer databases and World Wide Web pages connect with a wealth of useful groups and information. We're here for you. Focus attention on the key role of libraries in providing public access to the information superhighway. Extend invitations to children with disabilities, including LD, to participate. Use this web page, as well as those of organizations like the Orton Dyslexia Society and the Learning Disabilities Association of America for ideas.
