Hello,
 
I went back through the discussion from last week on Ohio's LD Policy and  
Professional Development.  I have listed the resources that were  suggested.  
They are as follows:
 
 
"Learning Disabilities and Ohio: Policies and Professional  Development," 
published in the most recent issue of Focus on Basics. 
 
Focus on Basics Issue, Volume 8, Issue D. November 2007  
Pages 37-40 
World Education

(http://www.ncsall.net/fileadmin/resources/fob/2007/fob_8d.pdf) 
 
 

Online Guide that helps Ohio's adult education programs to  understand and 
apply the LD policies. You can access this Online Guide as a  guest at:  
_http://tinyurl.com/3b8t79_ (http://tinyurl.com/3b8t79)    There are  17 steps that

Step 17 - Print 


Ohio has an online  database of 52 psychologists/diagnosticians willing to 
provide LD  diagnostic services at reduced cost or on a sliding scale.  You can 
view  that network at: _http://tinyurl.com/ywkhr2_ (http://tinyurl.com/ywkhr2) 
 .  It is up to the  individual to contact the provider to arrange for an 
appointment and pay for  services. Costs range from $10.00 to $300.00.
