LD Blog

I just realized that LD Blog does not have a readily-available link to the National Research Center on Learning Disabilities. I’m adding it just as soon as I finish this post.

The NRCLD is a federally funded research center that (a) conducts research on identification of LD, (b) develops recommendations for implementation of evidence-based best practices, (c) disseminates findings about LD issues to people who make decisions about education policy and practice, and (d) provides technical assistance to national, state, and local groups. The staff of the NRCLD includes some of the most well-respected individuals in the field; they bring a diverse array of interests and concerns to the center. There are copious amounts of valuable resources there, so visit the site.

One should not confuse the NRCLD with NCLD, the National Center for Learning Disabilities. The NCLD is a private, not-for-profit advocacy organization. NCLD maintains an advisory board that is composed of eminent figures in LD, as well. It, too, provides many useful resources. Vist this organization here.
