Abstract
The literature provides little structure or guidance for the provision of services to learning disabled (LD) adults. Twenty-five suggestions are presented here for consideration when describing, defining, and assessing LD adults; when designing appropriate instructional and support services for these individuals; and when planning related research. Implications are discussed for elementary- and secondary-level educators, as well as for those designing services for adults.Keywords
