Treatable Intellectual Disabilites / Developmental Disabilities

I recently came across an amazing compilation of treatable metabolic disorders - 81 in total. Not only does the site highlight the various signs and symptoms of inborn errors of metabolism, it also lists the treatments (where applicable) as well as an explanation of each disease with links to thousands of research articles. It's a one-stop amazing shop designed for clinicians but also accessible to non-professionals like moi. It contains links to 1,296 online resources with access to 2,482 articles!

Check it out: www.treatable-id.org The site has good usability and navigation and contains heaps of info. My only complaint is that the text could do with some a scrub - lots of typos and grammar issues. Then again, these folks aren't in their fields for their writing skills.
