Hello group users,
The National Center on Learning Disabilities (NCLD) is an excellent source of LD news, information, and resources.
They have posted a resource that you may find interesting. Dr. Marilyn Bartlett is a successful professor of law and education. She is also a person with dyslexia. Her request to use appropriate accommodations while taking her bar exam was denied. She filed a lawsuit to fight for her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990—and won!
Her story is informative and inspiring. You can view the video at http://www.ncld.org/learning-disability-resources/videos/video-dyslexia-landmark-case?utm_source=standalone_november_26_2012&utm_medium=email&utm_content=text&utm_campaign=wkndeml >

Thank you, Dr. Barlette, for bringing your landmark case to the ADA's attention. It is unbelievable that you were denied in the first place. Victory is surely sweet.
Hi Rochell, and thanks for sharing this important NCLD video.
