CASAS developed the modules jointly with an advisory committee and curriculum writers representing low-level literacy youth and adults. We appreciate the work of those whose names appear on each module as well as the consultants and practitioners who contributed ideas, feedback, and an enormous amount of effort: Sabra Barfield, Nancie Payne, Ann Marie Smith, and Anita White.

CASAS thanks the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities for funding development.
