I agree with you -- methods for elementary and for older LD are very  
different. JHU has two programs in Mild-Moderate Disabilities: One is  
Elementary/Middle, the other is Secondary/Adult. I teach reading  
methods in Secondary/Adult. I can't speak for how much  
differentiation for older students is done in the core classes that  
both groups take, but I definitely cover reading strategies, methods,  
etc. for older learners. In addition the the reading methods course,  
students in this program also take other courses that are different  
from those taken by E/M students: Diversifying the Curriculum and  
Career Assessment and Programming. These courses are taught by  
instructors who themselves taught older students and, from what I  
hear from students, are excellent. Also, these students have two  
internships in secondary/adult public and private schools.
