From the Paper:

"Adult Basic Education (ABE) is a process through which education is provided to adult students through a curriculum specifically designed to facilitate specialized needs common to adults. While younger students may benefit from the strategies and techniques offered through ABE, the format has been developed in a manner that best utilized the strengths of an adult student and is structured to avoid challenges that may be proposed via external demands placed on the student's classroom experiences or internalized problems that the adult student may have when encountering educational materials. This paper seeks to define conditions that may prevent or preclude the adult student's successful participation within an ABE program."
