Bridges to Practice: A Research-based Guide for Literacy Practitioners Serving Adults with Learning Disabilities. Guidebook 3. The Planning Process

摘要

The development of Bridges to Practice is centered around the vision of the National Adult Literacy and Learning Disabilities Center (National ALLD Center). This vision consists of the following beliefs: .Adults with learning disabilities have specific and unique educational service needs. .Literacy programs can and should meet the needs of adults with learning disabilities. .By focusing on research-based information, the National ALLD Center can help literacy programs better meet the needs of adults with learning disabilities. Bridges to Practice is organized around five guidebooks designed to document and reflect 'best practices' in working with persons with learning disabilities. What distinguishes these guidebooks from similar products is that the content is based on research. The purpose of these guidebooks is to influence the decision-making process of literacy practitioners in evaluating and selecting screening tools, curricular materials, and instructional strategies that are effective for adults with learning disabilities.
