LDblog purpose

As a category of special education, learning disabilities is the subject of strong questioning. The field is battered by critics, both from within its own ranks and from outside the area. Because I’m concerned about this state of affairs, I plan to use this forum to explain my views of Learning Disabilities. I expect to devote most of my musings to the defense of LD, but I shan’t hesitate to offer my own criticism, as well.

Regardless of whether I defend or criticize LD, it must be understood that I am expressing my own views. What I post here does not represent the official position of my employer, any organizations with which I’m affiliated, or anyone else. In that sense, these musings are mine and mine alone. I share them here to promote open discussion and with the hope that discussion of the issues I raise will be beneficial to the area of LD in the long run.
