I don't have a site with information about inclusion of L.D. students, but
I do have a document I could send you which includes research references
in this and other inclusion-related areas.  It is the Manual for Best
Practices on Inclusion published by the Illinois School Psychologists
Association.  If you would like a copy, please send me an address where I
can snail-mail you.  The manual is about 60 pages in length, so a small
donation to cover printing and mailing costs would be appreciated (I can
put an invoice in with the book for you).

Dear Georganne,

I'll put the manual in the mail today.  If you can possibly pay us in U.S.
rather than Canadian funds, it would be helpful -- most of our banks have
disabilities of their own in computing the exchange rate correctly!

Regarding your son, I'm unaware of Canadian law regarding support services
to children with disabilities attending private schools.  Is there a
statute requiring that LD supports be provided by public school staff to
children attending private or parochial school?  If yes, must the child go
to the LD specialist at a public school site, or does the specialist go to
the private school?  Please stay in touch -- I'll be very interested to
hear the outcome of your human rights action.

Exactly what info do you want?  Area is full of info?  Do you want 
theoretical or experiential?
I've been teaching "exceptional" children K-12 for 19 years.  Would be 
willing to assist.
