My disability counselor at school showed me this, and I think it's wonderful, personally!

I don't understand what the purpose of these links is. What do they have to do with NLD?

They're for disability accommodations at work. So you'd have to search for LD or cognitive disability accommodations, but I've found the suggestions to be really helpful.

Actually, no. They are of absolutely no use to me. Searching for LD or cognitive anything would be complete and total waste of time for me. These are ADA resources. ADA stands for the "Americans with Disabilities" Act. Americans. Got that part? A-m-e-r-i-c-a-n-s. As in, not Canadians. As in, not where I live. As in, absolutely, totally and completely of no use to me whatsoever.

Whoa! Personally, I think there's no reason to be hostile. I didn't check where every person in this community lives. A lot of these suggestions don't require formal accommodations- some are arrangements you can set up with your boss or do yourself.

Is there anything specifically about NLD? I find that 'learning disabilities' is much too vague. Thanks

midoriliem April 12 2012, 01:58:16 UTC

Specifically? No. But it does cover what can be helpful for people with memory problems, organizational problems, trouble with math, coordination, time management, and social skills.

I'm just having a hard time navigating the links.

midoriliem April 12 2012, 02:08:55 UTC

Ok! Unfortunately, a lot of the links end in Word files, but I'll try to post the end links to these.

Let me know if I can help any other way. Some of the pages you have to click on the link with the square bullet.
