Learning Disabilities and Work Issues:
A Self-Paced Tutorial

Two LINCS Special Collections have recently collaborated on a self-paced tutorial called “Learning Disabilities and Work Issues.” This resource is especially useful for anyone serving as an instructor or coach for adults with learning disabilities who are engaged in looking for satisfying work and being successful in the workplace. You can access the tutorial from either of these LINCS Special Collections: the Literacy & Learning Disabilities website at http://ldlink.coe.utk.edu/ld_work_issues.htm or the Workforce Education website at http://worklink.coe.utk.edu/

The tutorial guides the reader through a presentation of learning disabilities and work issues with live links to resources providing more detailed and in-depth information. Through the tutorial, you’ll learn:

What it is like to have learning disabilities
The various forms that LD can take
How learning disabilities can affect work performance
The most critical skills in the modern workplace
How a ‘coach’ or teacher can help to prepare adults with
LD for success at work

In addition to the tutorial, you will find a set of Resources that are searchable by topic or audience.
