LD Transition: Questions for Researchers – to Inform Practitioners

From LiteracyTentWiki

For the most part, implications and questions are presented as originally written by participants at the Meeting of Minds Symposium. This means that some items might be fragments of thoughts and therefore hard to understand. If you were a participant and see such a response, please feel free to edit the implication to reflect what you or your table was thinking.

To comment on the implications, use the edit function of the wiki. To add a new implication, use a single *. To add a comment to an implication, use **. Using this notation creates the following structure:

• We need more information about how to effectively assist students with LD.
• In my experience, low literacy students who have learning disabilities do not stay in ABE programs long enough to improve their skills. We need to know more about how to serve those students better.
