How many adults with literacy problems actually have learning disabilities (LD)? Do most adults with severe literacy problems actually have a learning disability? What data exist to support the claims? How is LD being defined? Is the label overused? Is social/economic disadvantage misinterpreted as LD? What technologies and software exist to accommodate various disabilities? What can technology offer specifically to the learning disabled? How can technologies developed for specific disabilities be adapted for others? The 2001 Summer Institute at the Centre for Literacy posed these and other questions about adults and learning disabilities. This bibliography was intended to provide some context for the discussions. The search reinforced the sense of ambiguity surrounding the topic. Terminology and concepts differed from one country to another, even in the English-speaking world. The hope is that this collection of annotations will seed further searches and lead to some common understanding of the ways that literacy and learning disabilities may or may not related.
