The Complete Learning Disabilities Directory, 2007 Edition

This is the thirteenth edition of the most comprehensive reference book covering the wide range of learning disabilities resources available nationwide. This directory contains well over 7,000 entries and covers the schools, learning centers, vocational training programs, associations and organizations, and government agencies involved in learning disabilities. In addition, there are comprehensive chapters on teaching materials, assistive devices, technology resources, magazines, newsletters and workshops that are specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals with learning disabilities, as well as those who work with them.
