[nobe-l] research project help.

Melissa,

        Another topic which personally I'd find interesting would be to 
compare scores on standardized tests, visually-impaired/blind against 
non-disabled students.  A longitudinal study of a set period of time could 
yueld some interesting results.  The Heath Foundation at George Washington 
U., NIDRR, and and various state departments of education should be able to 
provide you data.

Good luck,

Patrick
