Accomplishments

Great things are happening all the time, too many to list, so here are the main accomplishments by year.

2002

  1. The Gifted Learning Project discovered 97% of public libraries in the United States do not have resources for patrons researching dyslexia or learning disabilities.  Lack of accurate resources was particularly true for public libraries with limited budgets located in economically challenged regions.  The Gifted Learning Project board set a goal of donating resource books and/or information on dyslexia and learning disabilities to willing public libraries and schools nation wide.   As you might guess, not having any employees and all volunteer organization, this is an extensive task to accomplishment. The Gifted Learning Project set the time line of five years to accomplish this task. The Gifted Learning Project finished 1/4 of all the public libraries in United States in 2002. Note: if you work with a library or know of a library willing to except this information, please contact Gifted Learning Project.
  2. The Gifted Learning Project sponsored speakers at local/state and national seminars/conferences and providing free resources to attendees. Note: All speakers volunteered their time, none received compensation.
