Susan,

I've never heard of having resource rooms for adult ed., but since the 
current research indicates that 50%-80% of students in ABE programs probably 
have a learning disability, I think I would prefer to see more emphasis on 
creating learning centers with accessible materials and instruction from 
more of a universal design stance.  That integrated approach would not only 
target the learning needs of most adult education students, but it would 
also avoid the stigma that too often accompanies segregation.

Dear Friends,
Does anyone have direct or indirect knowledge regarding both the existence 
and success of such resource rooms?  I would be grateful for any details you 
could share with me.
Thank you.
