There are a series of excellent blogs related to learning disabilities and special education that have recently relocated. Correct URLs and description below the fold.
LDBlog is now at http://ldblog.com/
LD Blog provides news and commentary on Learning Disabilities and associated difficulties. We report events involving people with Learning Disabilities as well as content about the assessment and treatment of Learning Disabilities. We hope to make clear to our readers that a Learning Disability is not a trivial or inconsequential problem, and that there are beneficial means of overcoming Learning Disabilities. The principal authors for LD Blog are John Wills Lloyd and Margaret P. Weiss.
SpEdPro is now at http://SpedPro.org/ . It is a group blog on issues and news for professionals in Special Education.
EBD Blog is now at http://ebdblog.com/
EBD Blog is about emotional and behavioral disorders of children and youths. In the US, this area of special education is often referred to as "emotional disturbance," but we're using the term EBD, as that one is more clearly discriptive and preferred by many leaders in the field. EBD Blog will also include content about related areas of disability, including autism, attention deficit disorder (ADD or ADHD), and other similar topics. John Wills Lloyd and James M. Kauffman are the primary authors of EBD Blog.
Teach Effectively! is now at http://teacheffectively.com/
TeachEffectively.com is a source for current news and opinion about effective teaching. Teach Effectively emphasizes evidence-based instruction and educational practice. Although the majority of the content on Teach Effectively focuses on instruction for students in special education (especially those with Learning Disabilities or Emotional and Behavioral Disorders), the entries also address other disabilities (e.g., autism, ADHD) and are applicable to students at risk for school problems. The principal contributors to Teach Effectively are John Wills Lloyd and Margaret P. Weiss..
Liz, thanks for the very complimentary coverage.
