Whole Life and Learning Disabilities in Adult Literacy
This site is a place for adult educators in BC and Canada to share ideas and resources to support adult learners who may have a learning disability, or for whom learning is difficult for all kinds of reasons. A “whole-life approach” to learning disabilities recognizes that learning is social, cultural, emotional and also deeply personal. Successful strategies for people with learning difficulties attend to the “whole person” and diverse learning styles. In fact, successful learning strategies for people with learning difficulties can work for everyone.
