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_ 
(_http://www.rfbd.http://www.rfbdhttp://www.htt_ 
(http://www.rfbd.org/membership-individual.htm) )  is now FREE to individuals with proper 
_certification_ 
(_http://www.rfbd.http://www.rfbd.http:_ 
(http://www.rfbd.org/certification.htm) ) .  

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& amp;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 call 
RFB&D's Member Services  Department at 800-221-4792. 
Blindness and visual impairments: 
·  Physician 
· Ophthalmologist 
· Optometrist 
· Vocational  rehabilitation counselor 
Learning or perceptual disability: 
·  Neurologist 
· Learning disability specialist 
· Psychologist with a  background in learning disabilities 
The following are NOT professionals  typically qualified to certify, unless 
they have a background in one of  the above areas of expertise: 
· Principals 
· Vice principals 
·  Guidance counselors 
· General education teachers 
· Librarians
