It covers all of those areas and much more, is very flexible and user-friendly. It is not written specifically for LD adults, but lends itself to adequately meeting their individual needs through its' flexibility. You can get a copy through the Texas Center for Adult Literacy and Learning (TCALL) at 800/441-READ, if you would like to look it over. We have also used it with the homeless and incarcerated populations with success.
