Lydia Block was hired as a counselor in 1981 when the Office for Disability Services was still called the Office for the Physically Impaired. Throughout the years she became the Coordinator of Learning Disabilities Services and eventually the Assistant Director before she left for her own organization, Block Educational Consulting, in 1995. She is currently the Learning Specialist in the Sagan Academic Resource Center at Ohio Wesleyan University. She earned a Ph.D from Ohio State University in Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development. Block's research was focused on identifying factors that influenced how students with learning disabilities could successfully learn a second language. Her research is a unique cornerstone and is often cited by others in the field.
