JLD cover art redux

Do you know a child who should submit art to the Journal of Learning Disabilities?

As noted on 25 August 2024 in “Cover art invitation: What scholarly journal is seeking submissions of art for the covers of the journal?,” the Journal of Learning Disabilities is soliciting art to use on its cover once again. If you, Dear Reader. know a student (child or youth) who makes visual art, you could encourage her or him to submit something.

Here’s my lede from 2024:

Since 1996 the cover of the Journal of Learning Disabilities, a respected scholarly publication, has displayed art work by individuals with learning disabilities. When Judy Voress and Lee Weiderholt redesigned the journal during Lee’s editorship, they changed from displaying the contents of the issue to featuring individual works on the cover. See the examples later in the post.

Here’s a copy of the invitation from the Hammill Institute to submit work for consideration for publication:

And, here’s a sample cover (from the July-August issue of JLD) that Peggy Kipling of the Hammill Institute sent Special Education Today to help illustrate what they publish.

By the way, if you read articles in JLD, you’ll find that a lot of your fellow Dear Readers of SET publish research in JLD. The issue depicted in the previous image includes an excellent series of posts discussing the idea that “inclusion is not a place place”;¹ it’s edited by Doug and the late Lynn Fuchs and maybe a half dozen SET subscribers contributed to papers appearing in it. Those papers are currently “open source” (meaning free downloads). Just click the cover or this link).
