stuff to read...

[Chris Hamel <Chamel@U.Arizona.EDU>]

...in all your spare time.  (-;

anne and gail asked for some scholarly references on ld and writing... 
 this list is not complete, organized, or anything else (general disclaimer 
here!), but it's a place to start...  the dunn book is a particularly good 
place to begin (and possibly end -- it's an excellent discussion) your 
explorations -- she's a writing person talking about lds, which is unusual. 
 most of the research and discussion out there comes from the ld camp.

if anyone wants more stuff on the politics of ld, or on multiple 
intelligences and ld, let me know and i'll get a bib. together on that 
too...
