    Another general disability site, with a good collection of Dyslexia Links. A useful "portal" for accessing a wide range of disabilities websites:

  • THE one-stop resource site for teachers: not only are they efficient, friendly and successful (loads of hits every week), but they don't charge a fortune to publishers, which encourages people like those listed here. (A lot of marketing "opportunities" in the educational  publishing sphere are economically out of the question for many of the small -often better- companies) www.schoolzone.co.uk

    Brad emailed me just recently with the above link to his site. A personal account of his experiences as a dyslexic studying for (and gaining) his Phd., this is a refreshingly honest insight into the world of one dyslexic individual.
    As well as sharing his struggles and successes, Brad writes about some of the resources that he has found most useful. Well worth a visit.
