We have run into some issues here with the reading materials required to
avoid jail sentences. The reading materials are too difficult for some of
the clients; of course some of the clients say that to avoid the whole
thing, but for those who really aren't able to read the materials the idea
of putting them on tape or on computer with a reader program would be
helpful. Have any of you worked out a relationship with community
corrections in this matter?

I am the ABLE/GED instructor at a drug and alcohol recovery program. From
personal experience, I know it is very difficult to convince the counselors
that a clinet/student really cannot read, and that being able to read the
words does not mean the client/student can understand what s/he has read.
One thing that has helped is for the client/student to have the Big Book
(Alcoholics Anonymous) on tape. The client/student can listen and understand
what s/he hears better than what s/he reads.
Another way for clients/students to receive help they need is for me to read
and explain the text (but only short texts) to the student. If there are
questions to respond to, the client/student can tell them to me to record,
or record responses on audio tape.
