In addition, the focus group explored how the ABE and disability communities could work together to create better service models. The meeting was co-sponsored by the National Institute for Literacy, the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, the Office of Adult and Vocational Education/U.S. Department of Education, and the National Association of State Directors of Adult Education.
