Clarification: Landmark College is a college only FOR students with 
LD--it is not a program ABOUT LD. They are about to hold a symposium on 
college students with LD and how they are identified and accommodated.  
  Generally speaking, adults with LD that we deal with in adult 
education, GED, ABE etc,  are considered something of a different 
population from college students with LD.   Robin Schwarz
