Abstract	This document contains the final report, trainer handbook for volunteer tutor trainers, and idea book for volunteer tutors from a project conducted to develop a supplemental tutor training program and life skills curriculum specifically for developmentally disabled (DD) adult learners. The final report describes how a group of DD adult learners were assessed with the BADER Individual Reading Inventory, and writing samples were collected from them. The assessment results and data from field observations of classes for DD adults, a survey of available adult education materials for DD learners, and interviews with tutors were used to develop a curriculum and tutor training program. Tutors and project staff brainstormed learning strategies for DD adult students, and the brainstorming session results were compiled into an idea book. Four training sessions were conducted, and 50 tutor-learner pairs were matched. The trainer handbook includes the following: training process overview, training agenda, sensitivity exercises, text and workbook suggestions, support services to assist volunteers, and miscellaneous forms. Described in the idea book are 49 activities grouped into the following categories: prereading; reading; writing; speaking and listening; math, measurement, and money; self-esteem; and life skills.
