I don't know if my comment, that we do not see a correlation between 
learning disabilities and workforce development learning, agrees with 
statements by others or not. I would like to clarify the main point. 
Workforce development learning is something needed by all of our 
students, not just those with learning disabilities. The specific 
learning in question needs to be individualized. It is not the same for 
everyone. It depends on the individual's needs and goals. It does not 
depend on whether or not the individual has a learning disability.
