Learning Disabilities & Literacy	In March of 1998, the Gogebic County Community School Program(GCCSP here-after), was informally commissio0ned to research the providers of adult education services concerning the instruction of adult learning disabled(LD). The apparent increase in alternative high school programs further added to the concern of a vast array of learning differences among students that must be addressed daily by the practitioners (teachers, aides, tutors , mentors, etc.) in the State of Michigan. Central Michigan University, through the State Literacy Resource Center, and as of October 1,1998, now known as the Michigan Adult and Learning Technology (M.A.L.T.) Center, formalized a contract with the GCCSP on May 1,1998, to conduct a professional development initiative to conduct a statewide survey of best practice, to identify that best practice and support it in statewide training.
