This handbook for literacy tutors and adult education instructors is a compilation of information about various handicapping conditions and suggestions for working with students with each of the handicaps. Seven handicapping conditions are considered: hearing acuity problems, visual impairments, deaf blindness, speech and language impairments, learning disabilities, orthopedic impairments, and epilepsy.
