Ämne: [IFLA-LPD] Quick question re dyslexia

 

Dear colleagues,

 

I have a quick question for you.

 

Are you serving people with perceptual disabilities such as dyslexia?

 

If so, what percentage of the people you serve have perceptual disabilities such as dyslexia, and what percentage are blind, visually impaired or physically disabled?

 

Thanks in advance for your responses.
