Hi Bonnie
Yes I would love to exchange notes, emails, that would be really great, very very helpful.
Right now we have several people in our group; I am meeting up with several other people this week.
We just had our first meeting the other night; it was interesting to hear of similar experiences and situations. We’re having another meeting this coming Friday night-March 28.
I would be very interested in exchanging emails with you, I’m incredibly interested in hearing your experience.
I totally envision this as the sort of group that can change the world for the better. Sometimes it’s difficult though to figure out where to start.
I actually take great inspiration from the Canadians when approaching this because so much of the LD research that I’ve read has come from Canada; it’s fantastic! I keep collecting studies; if you know of any new ones online let me know-I am incredibly interested in keeping up with what’s going on in the world of researching learning disabilities, there’s something that can be learned from everything you read!
I hope to hear from you soon!-Sarah
Hi, Sarah,
Just let me know in email when you’re going to do this, I’d be more than happy to drop in ! Just let me know!
Thanks!
