The Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act give learners with disabilities the right to reasonable accommodations in adult education programs, as well as in other environments that many of our learners go on to navigate, like workplaces and colleges.
It’s important for learners to know their rights and be able to advocate for themselves, but it can be hard to find accessible explanations of these topics. That’s why Literacy Minnesota and PANDA have partnered to produce a guide that helps explain learners’ rights and how to exercise them.
