Hi Patti,

I had the pleasure of visiting your state some years ago to recruit sites for a research project.  First time I'd seen a cotton field. I visited Hot Springs and took a soak.

OK, down to business.

Yes, I have a couple of questions, but you may not have ready answers;  however, I live in hopes.

What do you recommend when a person needs a diagnosis but doesn't have the money to pay for one?

And how do you handle a situation where students are  allergic to taking a standardized test--TABE--yet federal funds are contingent on doing so? Allergic = they will walk out of the program. This has come up in a state where ProLiteracy CBO's are (or used to be) an integral part of the adult literacy landscape.  What is the relationship of ProLiteracy literacy measures (criterion referenced) to measures allowed by the NRS?
Is this situation reflected in other states?

Thanks.

Andrea Wilder
