Subject: Re: Teaching learning disabled children

I have only taught a few learning disabled children.  I have referenced this
website to other teachers of learning disabled children.  It does not
directly answer you question.  I suggest that you start with the first area
marked with •••

Another site to start a search is:

http://mathforum.org/library/ed_topics/contexts_disabled/

I hope that this helps you.
