Dear Dee Dee,
	I am a professor of Sp. Education at Marshall University, which
is located in Huntington, WV.  We have a support program for college
students and medical students who have LD and/or ADHD.  We help them
study for exams, help with assignments, provide remedial help in
improving reading and written language skills, as well as math.  All of
our teaching is one-to-one.  We have 200 undergraduate students in the
program from all over the country.  www.marshall.edu/help

	We also have a remedial program (Medical HELP) for medical
students and physicians who read too slowly, have poor comprehension
skills, and lack skill in taking multiple choice tests.

	We also have a Master's and Ed.D. program in Learning
Disabilities.  I will be glad to speak with anyone who is interested in
learning more about these programs.

Subject: [LearningDisabilities] Educational resources for someone
interested in a profession working with adults with L.D.

I have a wonderful instructor that teaches our GED classes.  He  also 
works with our students with disabilities. He approached me today asking

how I got involved with working with disabilities, especially with 
adults with L.D.  He asked where or who offers degrees, 
certificates..........in th field of learning disabilities and what 
types of professions are out there related to  LD ....counseling, 
psychology....... 

I shared with him what I know, which is not much.  I was hoping others 
could offer some input here. 
He does a tremendous job here and it was exciting to have him  inquire 
and show such an interest in working with individuals with learning 
disabilities.
 Thanks
