Along with my other blogs (and many others’ blogs, too), LD Blog is joining Sheryl’s promotion of National De-lurking Week on Paper Napkin. It’s coming in January 2006. Readers can get a head start on de-lurking by posting comments now!

Here’s a link from India (I think; the domain name is registered to someone in California) to a medical information aggregation site I’ve been watching. I point to it because (a) it may be useful to some readers and (b) because it uses Learning Disabilities as a generic.
