Learning Disabilities and English Language Learners
Colorin Colorado, in conjuntion with Reading Rockets, has made available a webcast about instructing English Language Learners with Learning Disabilities. While the webcast is geared to K-12 students, it has relevant information and application for the adult literacy educator and learner. To view the webcast, go to: http://www.readingrockets.org/webcasts/ondemand/2007. This webpage will also give you additional resources to explore on this topic.
