Do you have questions on the statistics and prevalence of learning disabilities (LD) within secure environments? Whether or not inmates are tested in their native languages if LD is suspected? What LD-specific professional development best suits the needs of educators in secure classrooms?
Then join us today for Adult Learning Disability Populations within Secure, Correctional Facilities. Held jointly in the Correctional Education and Disabilities in Adult Education groups, we’re examining how to best provide adult education services to students with learning disabilities in secure facilities. To prepare, please review these three LINCS Disabilities Collection and Correctional Education resources:
- Understanding the Complexities of Offenders’ Special Learning Needs,
- A Reentry Education Model: Supporting Education and Career Advancement for Low-Skill Individuals in Corrections, and
- Unlocking Potential: Results of a National Survey of Postsecondary Education in State Prisons.
We look forward to a lively discussion!

The LINCS Community Team
