Learning Disabilities Training & Dissemination Workshop

This project is funded by the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), and is part of a nationwide training effort to initiate systems reform that will allow each agency to better serve their adult clients who have learning disabilities.

The training is based on information from Bridges to Practice, a publication developed by the National Adult Literacy and Learning Disabilities Center.

This training is an integral component of the Arkansas welfare reform initiatives. There will be local representatives from each of the following agencies invited to attend each regional training session:

• Arkansas Department of Workforce Education, Adult Education Section
• Arkansas Adult Learning Resource Center
• Arkansas Literacy Councils, Inc.
• Arkansas Department of Human Services
• Arkansas Workforce Investment Board
• Arkansas Rehabilitation Services
• Arkansas Department of Correction School District
