i responded to your request for children with LD’s a while ago. I spoke with you(?) or someone who said two of my four LD children would be eligible. I think the other two are not because they are on med’s.
i am very sorry to have procrastinated (apple doesn’t fall far from the tree) The two you are interested in have only had formal testing with S/L by Sue Loomis.
One of the one’s on med would have been good, as we are a bit suspicious of her being a double-deficit child.
Bottom line - I guess you are still looking for candidates. Let me know and I will get my act together and send you copies of the test results that I have.
thanks

ps I heard Dr. Cutting speak at the MD branch IDA on Monday night. She did a great job and looks way to young to have done her dissertation!
