Suggest that he go to 
www.ahead.org 
 
as one source of information.
 
He may also find useful information at the websites for the International Dyslexia Association and the Learning Disabilities Association.
 
There are degrees in Rehabilitation, counseling psych, learning disabilities, etc. at many universities.
 
Many disability services providers in colleges/universities, though, come from a wide range of backgrounds, some having nothing to do with disabilities (which is not necessarily a good thing.)

I have a wonderful instructor that teaches our GED classes.  He  also 
works with our students with disabilities. He approached me today asking 
how I got involved with working with disabilities, especially with 
adults with L.D.  He asked where or who offers degrees, 
certificates..........in th field of learning disabilities and what 
types of professions are out there related to  LD ....counseling, 
psychology....... 

I shared with him what I know, which is not much.  I was hoping others 
could offer some input here. 
He does a tremendous job here and it was exciting to have him  inquire 
and show such an interest in working with individuals with learning 
disabilities.
Thanks
