Go Ask ERIC.
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
ERIC gathers and disseminates the professional literature, information, and resources on the education and development of individuals of all ages who have disabilities and/or who are gifted.
ERIC is a very useful information clearinghouse on disability topics from the Council on Exceptional Children. It provides many services such as:
Provide access to the ERIC database of educational materials, which has more than 1,000,000 citations. (70,000 citations on disabilities or gifted issues)
Collect educational documents, journal articles, and other educational materials on special and gifted education, selecting the highest quality material.
Catalog, abstract, and index the selected material for inclusion in the ERIC database.
Provide information on current research, programs, and practices in special and gifted education.
Prepare publications such as ERIC Digests (brief overviews of current topics); provide information on topics such as ADD, gifted, behavior disorders, early childhood, inclusion, learning disabilities.
Respond to general questions on disabilities and gifted education via the AskERIC service on the Internet; we are unable to offer medical opinions/diagnoses, legal opinions, financial advice, or recommendations on which schools a child should attend.
Provide references to other sources or organizations that address disabilities or giftedness.

PLAY Tip
Bead Mazes perfect for children with Down Syndrome or Visual Impairments
Learning only happens when a child is interested enough to WANT to participate. Bead mazes teach a huge variety of skills. (cognitive, motor, perceptual, and language) but their true strength is the excellent play value kids find in these open-ended toys. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children.
