The following books were purchased as part of a grant funded by the New York Disabilities Planning Council in 1996. This online list is merely a sampling of the many books that have become available to us through this grant. The book collection is a combination of materials in the following areas:

• Attention Deficit Disorder
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Learning Disabilities
• Dyslexia
• Down's Syndrom
• Tourette's Syndrome

Books can be borrowed or requested through interlibrary loan. I appreciate any suggestions for books or audiovisual programs that emphasize develpmental disabilities, because that is the focus of our grant, and our purchases.

Thank you.
