For both high and low tech information and research on learning
disabilities, you can't do much better than the Frostig Center for
Technology and Learning Disabilities in Pasadena, CA. They did a nice
booklet, _Assistive Technology for Children with Learning Disabilities_,
for the Parents' and Educators' Resource Center in San Mateo
(800-471-9545). They also did a study of assistive technology for
people of all ages with leaning disabilities for the San Francisco Public
Library.

And, when it comes to libraries, don't forget the work done by DO-IT at
the University of Washington, particularly the training package,
_Universal Access_. The focus is on all kinds of things libraries can do
to make their services more accessible.

Reminder: send along your snailmail address if you'd like the Learning
Disabilities Resource Packet from my ALA project, Roads To Learning. It
includes information sheets on LD that can be copied an used with staff
or the public. It also has some information on rethinking programming
spaces and meeting rooms, the reference interview, and other library
services.
