The Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) initiated a series of 
meetings over a year ago to encourage state adult education systems to 
address policies regarding service provision for adult students with 
learning disabilities.

I'm wondering if any states have questions regarding assessment 
issues....intake (TABE?), screening for LD, instructional and testing 
accommodations, referring for diagnosis, etc.....that could be addressed via 
this discussion group.

I have been involved with the development of policies regarding LD and adult 
education in Arkansas for ten years and can address some of the questions. 
Other states (Ohio leaps to mind) have also developed state policies in this 
area.  Our policy manual is online at 
http://aalrc.org/resources/ld/policyManual/index.aspx, although it is in the 
process of a few minor changes that should be online soon.

Any questions or comments?
