On the internet

Each of the following websites represents an organization focused on the needs of people with one particular type of disability. Each includes free access to archives of non-current journals and other publications, as well as information about conferences, professional training events, and political news relevant to persons with disabilities. (Note that the sponsoring organizations about hearing loss and about intellectual disabilities changed their names recently, though not their purposes, so their websites may eventually change names as well.)

< www.ldanatl.org > This is primarily about learning disabilities, but also somewhat about ADHD.

< www.add.org > This website is primarily about ADHD. Note that its website name uses an older terminology for this disability, ADD (no “H”) for attention deficit disorder (with the term hyperactivity).

< www.shhh.org > This one primarily discusses about hearing loss .

< www.navh.org >This website is primarily about visual impairment.
