So -- as far as a form goes - the best think I have seen has been developed by the VR system in Alabama, through their state wide effort transition efforts. Linda Hames is the lead person in the state on that - (they operationalized the VR definition of LD and developed a six page form for assessment needs.) Excellent work - but it may be too extensive for many programs. And since the form is filled out based on extensive testing ... it may be too expensive of a model for some - But when you asked the question - you did not ask about costs. - her e-mail is: lhames@rehab.state.al.us - ask for her LD evaluation form Now for systemic change - the Briges HUBS and myself have developed a seven step model that consists of "screening, diagnostic testing, empowered casemangers (or teachers), disability partnerships, trained employers, trained consumers (on lots of things but especailly on defintion of LD and accommodation options) and on-going supports.) Look at www.seakingwdc.org under the LD section on systemic change - there should be the "report card" we developed for program evaluation there too. SO --- hope this helps Glenn Young OVAE -----Original Message----- From: Esliger, Robert J.

Let me see if I can be a little more specific in my request. I'm looking for a "form" which programs can use to write individualized programs for adults in adult education programs. This "form" would indeed be the statement of necessary accommodations that adults require in order to be successful in his/her program. Is anyone out there using such a "form"? Might you share this form with me? Thanks! Bob Esliger
