The resource guide begins with a brief checklist of behaviors which adults with learning disabilities may exhibit and goes on to public suggestions for assessing the problem and locating a diagnostician. It then briefly describes 17 books, pamphlets, articles, and newsletters as well as 14 organizations. Seven sources of information on basic/remedial education for adults are then given as are sources of information on postsecondary education and training including college programs, vocational, trade, and technical programs, and financial aid.
