with Learning Disabilities and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Acknowedgements
The development of this policy was prompted by a variety of needs and issues in the field of adult education and literacy as related to adult students who have special learning needs. After many years of workshops and policy committee meetings, the resulting document reflects the growth in awareness for special needs students by both practitioners and administrators. The intent of this policy is to ensure that adult education and literacy programs throughout Arkansas will offer appropriate services to all students.
Special thanks to the dedicated members of the policy committee for their continuing commitment to excellence. Also, the policy committee reviewed several policies regarding students with disabilities and would like to thank the following for sharing their documents: Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), West Virginia Adult Education, Arkansas Rehabilitation Services, and the Arkansas Transition Project.
Finally, our deepest appreciation and gratitude to Nancie Payne, M.S. and Dale R. Jordan, Ph.D., for their indispensable expertise in guiding the committee through the process of establishing policy for adult students with special learning needs. Their vision, knowledge, and dedication kept the committee focused on the goal with special emphasis on "doing what is right".
