[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: "PBS" dyslexia page gone

Little has depressed me as the PBS program on dyslexia has.
I have respected PBS over many years even though I have not always
appreciated their educational/literacy focussed programs before.  I have
written to PBS in any case at this time and am encouraging teachers and
other educational/literacy professional to do the same.

In 1975 when we first came to University of Arizona, Sam Kirk, known for
his influence on special education and for coining the learning
disabilities label often said.....   There are never more than 2% of the
population that could/should be considered learning disabled.  He kept
bemoaning the increase of numbers in this area over the years.  Special
education has increased its influences on the reading field in general over
time.   I wonder if this an issue related to the diminishing number and
influence of reading departments over the years.  Sometimes when I listen
to talk about the readng field, I wonder if the deficit model of reading
learning and teaching has become the sole view offered to teachers.

I wonder if anyone else has  had similar concerns.
