Your writing style is well crafted and flows well. The discussion of ABE programs and adult outcomes for learning disabilities is a great addition. In the U.S. is there a drop-off or discrepancy in funding and programs between youth and adults? You wrote, "There is a certain pathway that these adults and instructors should follow in order to ensure these adults have the abilities needed to succeed in life" - A certain pathway is somewhat vague (you may already be planning on furthering this in the future), and would benefit on description of this pathway.

In the main article, there is discussion on discrepancies of minorities and learning disabilities; the discussion focuses mainly on differences in SES among black, white, and Latino students. It made me remember reading about academic performance tests and the effects of stereotypes/prejudices on minority scores. Looking into this could be worthwhile in the discussion of the higher diagnoses of learning disability in minority students as well as in discussion of standardized testing and identification of learning disabilities.

The main article includes some statements about outcomes, but is lacking in a clearer picture.

Both of your sources linked to the articles. The second one, (Price, Lynda; Shaw, Stan (October 1, 2000). "Adult Education and Learning Disabilities". Career Development for Exceptional Individuals. 23: 187–204 – via Sage Journals.) is from 2000, which may be perfectly fine, but there may also be developments/new findings as well from the past 20 years.
