Colleagues,
 
There is presently a discussion happening on the Learning Disabilities
List that some of you might be interested in.  Here is a post by a
subscriber that kicked off the conversation:
 

I am interested in the assessment procedures being used in adult
literacy/adult education programs in regard to the identification of
learning and cognitive disabilities in populations who did not receive
such assessments as children in public school systems.  Given the
paucity of funds in adult education programs and adult rehabilitation
services, it would seem that the best way to get adults involved in such
assessment would be through pro bono work done by psychological
diagnosticians on a community level.  Do you agree with that?  Or are
you aware of other strategies that programs used to obtain diagnoses and
accommodations for adult students with specific learning disabilities? 
 
 
If this is of interest to you, you can subscribe yourself to that
discussion by going to:
