> Having spent lots of time around severely LD people, I question how generalizable that study is to more severe LDs.

Depends on how you are defining LD. Standard defn. is average or better IQ but with at least one identifiable cognitive deficit. In other words, functioning fine in all respects except for X. If you're grouping into LD folks with IQ<90 or so, then there is reason to question. Otherwise, the technique in the study (its called reciprocal teaching, for the educators out there who may be wondering what I'm talking about) has been replicated many times over. Turns out the technique works pretty damn well with regular kids, too.

But ain't that how it goes anyway? If you look at that list from NAMI of reasonable accommodations that have been held up in court, they are all things any GOOD supervisor should be doing anyway!

sheesh
