National Adult Literacy and Learning Disabilities Center

Funded by the National Institute for Literacy‚ the National Adult Literacy and Learning Disabilities Center (the Center) was a national resource for information regarding learning disabilities and their impact on the provision of literacy services. The Center‚ in collaboration with the University of Kansas Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities‚ provided technical assistance on best practices in learning disabilities to literacy program providers and practitioners. Activities included: creation of a National Information Exchange Network; development of Bridges to Practice‚ a tool kit for literacy practitioners; and training and technical assistance for literacy program practitioners who identified and taught adults with learning disabilities.
