Also, you will find that an Issue of Focus On Basics was devoted to
correctional education and among the many excellent articles was one on the
incidence of LD in incarcerated populations..

Have you looked at any of the LindaMood Bell research on their website?
They might have some useful facts for your research.

Hello All,

I am working on a project through our LD System Project (LDSI) here in
Washington State and wondering if you can help direct me to some stats
regarding LD.

I have been looking for information about the suspected number of
incarcerated individuals with learning disabilities and the number of adults
in adult education with learning disabilities. I have seen some stats quoted
however they are not cited.  I have the Bridges to Practice fact sheet but
these particular numbers are not cited.

I wondering if anyone can help me find prevalence of ld in the incarcerated
and ABE population.

Thank you,
