I asked a question recently and was refered to
www.bdainternationalconference.org/presentation/sat-5-b.htm
It was a paper discussing the teaching of music to dyslexics.
It seems unavailable. Can you please find it for me?

Hello depaul,

The paper by John Westcombe, How dyslexia affects musicians, is
available at
http://www.bdainternationalconference.org/presentations/sat_s5_b_5.htm

The BDA Conference web site has been changed since you were given the
URL, because it is now geared towards the upcoming conference in
Warwick, 2004. That is why the URL you originally had does not work
anymore.
If you are interested in the 2004 conference, the announcement with
call for papers is at
http://www.bdainternationalconference.org/index.htm

Search strategy: I tried the original URL, and then worked back to the
home page of the web site, from where I followed the links to the
presentations of the 2001 conference.
