This issue of "Linkages" addresses skills that literacy programs can include in their curriculum to teach self-advocacy to adult learners with learning disabilities. Articles include: "Consumers Empowering Consumers" (Noel Gregg and Cheri Hoy); "Self-Advocacy: Practical Advice to the Adult with LD" (Pat Boyd); "Disclosure: It's a Matter of Choice" (Winnelle D. Carpenter); "Accommodations: Just What Is Reasonable?" (Linda Andreson); "Support, Care, and Accommodations: David Cameron's Story" (Kathy Martin); "Tips for Self-Advocacy in the Workplace" (Dale S. Brown); and "Learning through Accommodations" (Cindy Knight). The final article, "Self-Advocacy in Educational Settings" (Lydia Block), discusses the need to document a disability and identify the office that serves students with disabilities. Tips are provided to help students negotiate with professionals to get the academic support and accommodations they need, including: understanding your learning disability well enough to describe it; being able to explain how a specific accommodation will help you; explaining that an accommodation helps you accomplish the same tasks as your peers; and talking to learning disabilities or special education professional if you are working with someone who is reluctant to provide you with what you need. The newsletter includes a list of resources for individuals with learning disabilities. (CR)
