I can't answer all those questions, but Volume 6, Issue A, (www.ncsall.net/?id=219) of Focus on Basics is on Counseling. Cathy Coleman did a quick national scan, trying to find out what states were doing to support counselors. While the article dates from 2002, much of the information is valid today.

Hi Kaye,
 
I was hoping you could help me out. Presently, I am aDoctoral candidate trying to formulate my proposal. My topic isCounselor/counseling within Adult Basic Education. I am having the mostdifficult time coming up with national information. 
 
Could you either post my questions on your list serve orcall me if you know who I could speak to about this subject.
 
My questions are:
What states require a counselor on staff within theirliteracy programs?
Is the role of Adult Basic Educational counselor definedstate-by-state or is there a generic counselor role definition?
Is there a national organization that speaks to the role ofcounselor (as advisor) within literacy programs (not post-secondary)
 
Thank you for your support
Michele Forlizzi
