The 2014 Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) legislation has some potential drawbacks, including undermining access to services for adult learners who struggle with basic reading skills. In this month's Forum pieces, Amy Pickard describes the potential negative impacts on low-scoring adult readers and the programs that serve them.  Debra D. Bragg responds, taking a somewhat more optimistic position on the impact of the new legislation.
