Adult Basic Education Adult Education Disabilities Federal Programs Information Services Information Sources Private Agencies Public Agencies Resources Social Agencies Voluntary Agencies This directory of resources for disabled adults was compiled to assist state directors of the federally funded, state-administered Adult Education Program as well as administrators and practitioners in providing services for adults with disabilities.

Subsequent sections focus on adults with the following specific disabilities: mobility impaired (8 organizations); deaf and hearing impaired (9 organizations); blind and visually impaired (12 organizations); learning disabled (7 organizations); mentally retarded (6 organizations); and mentally ill (3 organizations). Each entry provides the organization's name, address, and telephone number; a brief program description; and the resources available.
