I'm not sure why they felt like they had to change it.

> Dear Member,
>
>
> I am personally reaching out to share with you the exciting news that
> Recording for the Blind & DyslexicR has changed its name to Learning Ally.
>
> Changing the name of an institution such as Recording for the Blind &
> Dyslexic, with its rich history and tremendous network of 300,000 members,
> is not something we entered into lightly. Over the past year, we have 
> worked
> closely with scores of students, parents, teachers, volunteers and others 
> to
> explore the current state of the organization and chart its future.
>
>
>
> First and foremost, this transformation has been driven by our members. 
> Our
> research and focus groups reveal that the most significant reasons for
> change come directly from individuals just like you:
>
> * Our member community is more diverse than ever before, including
> individuals with many different kinds of learning disabilities where 
> access
> and reading are barriers to their learning.
>
> * The broad community of individuals in the U.S. who "learn
> differently" has grown significantly and a portion of these individuals 
> are
> not blind or dyslexic. Our current name limits our ability to reach the
> wider base of individuals who could benefit from our services.
>
> * And most significant of all, a universal issue expressed by the vast
> majority of our members surveyed is that they don't want to be typecast.
>
> When told about the news of our new name, a freshman in college who began
> using RFB&D in second grade said:
>
>
>
> "Finally. . .I'm tired of typing out that long name - and I
>
> don't like being labeled as Dyslexic!"
>
>
>
> This anecdote echoes the sentiment of countless thousands of members. They
> don't want to be referred to as "disabled"; they simply want to enjoy 
> equal
> access and opportunities to learn and succeed like anyone else. Our new 
> name
> goes directly to the heart of supporting them.
