Judy and I mentioned refers to a statewide system of providing eligibility

Colleges. Each <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">California</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Community College</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> has 2
or more ld specialists who test, teach, and provide learning assistance.
Yours is the only state to fund this need of providing testing and help to
adults. There is a very specific training process which leads to
certification as an ld specialist. For more information, contact anyone at Merritt
or <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Laney</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType

model? Thanks for this uplifting post. I want to comment that
there are many of us out here who read the lists but may not respond to each
interesting post. That should not be taken to mean your audience is
small; I think it is not. I, for one, forward many posts to teachers and
administrators alike in my district.<br>

w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType></st1:place></st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, we
were fortunate to be part of a federal grant called a Quality Initiative.
Our state chose to focus on learning disabilities. With the ongoing
support of the Office of Adult Literacy (who had previously provided the
opportunity for statewide learning disabilities training for teachers and DSS
counselors by Nancie Payne and Neil Sturomski) and our administrators, we
created a systematic process (based on the California model) for identifying
(flagging), screening, interviewing, referring, diagnostic/prescriptive
teaching, and requesting GED accommodations if needed.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>In our Adult Ed program we have two
certified Learning Disability Specialists. (We cover 6 counties.) We both
meet individually with students who have been referred through counselors or
teachers or are self referred. We screen, interview, teach study skills
and learning strategies, work with teachers, make referrals, tutor, teach mini
workshops, provide teacher trainings, and request GED accommodations.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I think a key issue is that Special
Education students don’t go away just because they become adults.
Being able to read, write and do math to 10<sup>th</sup> grade level is a great
benefit to being successful in the adult world. Those with lower skills
often do not have a high school diploma, end up on some sort of state
support—TANF or prison. Many have mental health problems which are
complicated by poor decision-making and problem solving processes. Having
a learning disabilities specialist—which is VERY,VERY,VERY, different
from most Disabilities Support Service persons---is a contributor to the
retention and success of students. The first year we provided services to 12
students. This year we have provided services to 250 students so
far. We can say with confidence that the services we provide allow
students to be successful who would never have made progress or reached their
educational goals before the system was in place. <u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>What made our systematic approach
successful was the federal and state funding to get training, the support of
the administrators who recognized the need for funded positions like Learning
Disability Specialists to work with students with learning challenges, and the
passion of instructors willing to do the work to take on a new role to serve
students.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

With the funding from this grant we have been able to do even more for our
program. With the focus on improving access to education to <u>all</u>
students (UDL) we have purchased assistive technology, classroom materials and

Gerald's question is an critically important one for the field. What do
we do for the learners we see in our classes and programs every day that
exhibit characteristics of a possible learning disability, that have co-morbid
disorders, that have achievement discrepancies, and that are failing to
progress? Not all programs use an LD Screening process. Not all
programs have the staff or resources to aggressively implement a plan or
to develop a state policy.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
