LD RESOURCES FOUNDATION INC. AWARDS ADULTS WITH DYSLEXIA AND ATTENTION

DEFICIT DISORDER

& to host LD Resources Foundation Inc. fundraiser and award

ceremony

New York, NY - What do Branson founder of Virgin Airlines, business

leader Schwab, Actress Whoopi Goldberg, Actor Henry Winkler,

MicroSoft Attorney Boies, Olympic diver Greg Louganis, and New York

City's largest residential real estate agency founder, Barbara Corcoran all

have in common? They are all successful adults with LD.

In honor of adults with LD, the LD Resources Foundation will host an award

ceremony on Wednesday, June 7th to raise funds and awareness of the

struggles faced by adults with LD. The mission of the LD Resources

Foundation is to guide adults suffering from learning disabilities, such as

dyslexia, and Attention Deficit Disorder by providing grants, information

and direction, giving them the assistance they need to enter higher

education and maximize their true potential. In honor of their struggles and

dedication to achievement, Ms. Zahavit Paz, founder and director of LD

Resources Foundation will be presenting LD adults with awards to help fund

LD assessments, adaptive technology and equipment.

Most people don't know that many successful people like Rosie O'Donnell,

Branson, Schwab, and Barbara Corcoran have LD. Each one of

them demonstrate the level of success an adult with LD can achieve when

provided with proper accommodations, testing and guidance. With today's

focus on standardized testing, people with learning disorders and other

disabilities are at a disadvantage. Hidden disabilities like dyslexia are

too often dismissed as not being " real. " Accommodations are suspected of

providing an " advantage. " The law's protections are often not realized by

the people who need it most. LD Resources Foundation through the generosity

of its donors seeks to provide funding to adults suffering from learning

disabilities, dyslexia, and attention deficit disorder by providing grants,

information and direction to help them enter higher education and maximize

their true potential.
