This paper describes the inadequate leadership in service and educational delivery systems that affects adults with learning disabilities. The lack of leadership creates a situation in which there is no linkage among the professional communities dealing with learning disabilities, and no communication network to transmit knowledge. The problem is attributed to the little professional training devoted to learning disabilities in teacher training institutions and to the failure of learning-disabled adults to advocate on their own behalf. Several issues in educational service delivery to adults with learning disabilities are discussed: (1) identification of adult students with learning disabilities; (2) instructional sites where adult students with learning disabilities appear; (3) diagnostic test interpretation; (4) professional training of educators; (5) continuing education for professionals in adult education; (6) attitudes of service providers toward adults with learning disabilities; (7) instructional materials and delivery techniques; (8) types of instructional assistance; (9) interpretation of public policy; and (10) interfacing research and practice. Includes a list of 10 resources. (JDD)
