http://healthymind.com/add-ld.html
A subdirectory of HealthyMind.com, a page maintained by David Bissette, a clinical psychologist in Washington, D.C., this page includes information on the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of ADD. Information also on learning disabilities in general, plus a useful section on additional resources for ADD and LD. 

CH.A.D.D.: Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorders

Dyslexia: The Gift. Information and Resources for Dyslexia.

http://www.ldonline.org/

This organization aims "to advance the education and general welfare of children and adults of normal or potentially normal intelligence who manifest handicaps of a perceptual, conceptual, or coordinative nature." The page includes information on the association, state chapters, publications, events, and a very useful resources page with links to printed, audio, video, and online resources, organizations, government agencies, etc. 

Learning Disabilities Organizations: An International Web Home

http://www.lda.org
Maintained by the Learning Disabilities Association Alaska chapter, this page aims to "provide a physical home for web pages for organizations addressing learning disabilities and other special education matters around the globe." As such, it is still primarily under construction, with just a few organizational links available as well as some LD resources. It is, however, a page well worth watching.

ld-list-request@east.pima.edu

In the body of the message, type ONLY the word:

You will then begin to receive all messages on the list.
