?:abstract
  • In this chapter, the author describes the characteristics, background, and experience of adult learners with low skills and self‐reported learning disabilities (LD) using two large‐scale sets of data: the Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC:2012/2014), which contains data on adults with low skills and LD from a representative sample of 5,040 U.S. working‐age adults; and PowerPath™ to Education and Employment, which contains data from 1,761 U.S. adult learners screened for learning challenges at adult education enrollment. PIAAC:2012/2014 respondents reported limited participation in formal education, lower educational attainment and employment, and high rates of coexisting disabilities and poor health. PowerPath respondents and PIAAC: 2012/2014 respondents reported an incidence of LD of 26 and 10%, respectively. A partial explanation for the difference in rates of LD is that PowerPath respondents who were entering adult education, had lower skills than adults with low skills and LD in the more broadly representative PIAAC: 2012/2014 sample. Findings from visual, auditory, and attention screenings are presented. (xsd:string)
