What are the numeracy and digital problem-solving skills of U.S. adults with learning disabilities (LD)? How do adults with LD use their skills at work and at home? How do their skills compare with the skills of general population? What is the role of co-existing health and disabling conditions (e.g., vision and auditory difficulties as well as permanent disability)?
Please join us on February 10th, 2022, for a presentation and discussion on findings from a recent Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) research paper authored by Margaret Patterson. Using the combined 2012/14/17 U.S. PIAAC data of over 12,000 participants, Margaret explored the relationships between several demographic characteristics, skill levels, and skill use of U.S. adults with LD in different settings and employment status.
