Internet Websites


The Internet provides convenient access to information on a subject. Unfortunately, not all information found on the Internet is as reliable as information found in print. The websites I have provided are ones that are well-known in the field of learning disabilities and dyslexia. When viewing other Internet sources, consider who the author is, what his/her background is, when the information was created, and how often is it updated.
