I read Daphne Greenberg's article, The Importance of Adult Literacy
 Issues in Social Work Practice, and very much agreed with her analysis.  I
 believe that there is a need for Social Workers in adult education
 facilities.  Non-profit Community-based agencies, like Literacy Partners,
 are in desperate need of Social Workers to coordinate services between
 HRA or other service providers to ensure proper coordination of care.
  I notice the lack of awareness around the severity of the issue of
 adult literacy.  Social workers seem to be focus on the workforce / job
 training portion of the issue rather than education itself.  I aim to
 prove that social workers are not readily involved as they were in the
 past, why they should get involved and how they can be of assistance.
 
I am wondering if anyone on this list feels that this research would be
 of some value or is the social work profession involved enough in the
 field? In other words, does anyone have any insight on this topic (the
 need for social workers in adult literacy programs or the lack of
 collaboration).
