Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) Provides recent litigation, guidelines for documenting a learning disability, both in regards to postsecondary education. Has a hotline and frequently asked questions about technical assistance.

These worksheets and activities are excellent tools because they are actual units and lesson plans that teachers, students, and parents can access from the website.
