Everyone is very busy trying to meet the demands of their jobs and their everyday lives. It is becoming difficult to find the time to read all of the materials that you might like or need to read. The Fast Facts Series were developed to provide tutors, instructors, counselors, therapists, instructional aids, and caring family members with information related to the topic of Adults with Learning Differences in a format that is short and easy to read. Each article is written in “plain English” and does not require a high level of professional training to understand. While the language is straightforward, the content is substantive. In Pennsylvania, completion of the readings and accompanying questions can be used to earn Act 48 professional development hours.
