Thanks to major funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Office
of
Special Education Programs, Grant #H327D090001 and support of private
donors,
RFB&D® Individual Membership
is now FREE to individuals with proper
certification.
To be eligible for membership, a person must have a documented print
disability, such as a learning disability, visual impairment or other
physical disability.
If you think you or your child might have a print disability and may
benefit from the services of RFB&D, you need to have certification of
the
disability.
How Does One Obtain Certification?
A qualified professional in the field of disability services, special
education, medicine or psychology must attest to the physical basis of
the visual,
perceptual or other physical disability that limits the applicant's
use
of standard print.
Who is a Certifier?
Appropriate certifying experts may differ from disability to
disability.
The following lists examples of professionals who are qualified to
certify an RFB&D
applicant. It is in no way a comprehensive list. If you have any
questions about who is a qualified certifying professional, please
