This assignment should be linked with your personal goal(s) for this course. Collaboration with colleagues will be even more critical in the new millennium as we are challenged to remain current in education. Here's your chance to link with peers who share your interests in this course, choose a topic, research and present an overview of it. Decide on your own or among yourselves how you will organize your content and through the contributions of the 4 or 5 of you, the rest of us will complete this course with a much broader and richer background in the field of learning disabilities. Be creative.
