Dear Kathy,

Learning Disability Resources LD Awareness Month might be over, but our community needs access to information about learning disabilities and local support all year round. That’s why we put together the following resources lists on the learning disabilities and related issue below:

  • 10 Dyscalculia Resources: Dyscalculia refers to a wide range of lifelong learning disabilities involving math.
  • 10 Dyslexia Resources: The most common LD, dyslexia is a language-based processing disorder can hinder reading, writing, spelling, and sometimes even speaking.
  • 10 Dysgraphia Resources: Dysgraphia is an LD that affects writing. This can lead to problems with spelling, poor handwriting, and putting thoughts on paper.
  • 6 Dyspraxia Resources: Dyspraxia is a disorder that affects motor skill development. This can vary from simple motor tasks such as waving goodbye to more complex tasks like brushing teeth.

We hope these resources are helpful to you and that you’ll forward this email to friends and loved ones who would also find it useful.

Sincerely,
The NCLD Team

Reading Rights!!!!

Here is a quoted paragraph from the web site. Please go to this site at http://www.readingrights.org/ and sign the petition.

As technology advances and more books move from hard-copy print to electronic formats, people with print disabilities deserve the opportunity to enjoy access to books on an equal basis with those who can read print.


People with print disabilities cannot effectively read print because of a visual, physical, perceptual, developmental, cognitive, or learning disability.

No Need for Greed

We Want to Read!


We represent 15 million Americans who cannot read print because of blindness, dyslexia, spinal cord injury, and other print disabilities. We include school children, the elderly, professionals, college students, returning veterans, and your neighbors, family members and friends. We want to buy books. We have fought very hard for many years to have equal access to technology and information. For the first time, now that the Amazon Kindle 2 offers text-to-speech, which will read a book aloud, we can purchase and enjoy books like everybody else. Sadly, the Authors Guild does not support equal access for us. The Guild has told us that to read their books with text-to-speech we must either submit to a special registration system (that not all may qualify for and that would expose disability information to all future eBook reader manufacturers) and prove our disabilities -- or pay extra. The Guild’s position is contrary to the principle of equal opportunity for all and discriminates against millions of people with print disabilities.


Please support us by joining our informational protests and Sign the Petition: We Want to Read.
