Learning disabilities (LD) affect some 15 percent of the U.S. population. Today, almost 3 million school age students receive special education services because of learning disabilities.

Drawing on more than 20 years of groundbreaking research tracing the lives of children and adults with LD, researchers at the FrostigCenter in Pasadena, California have identified key factors that contribute to success.

Understanding and nurturing these key factors - called “success attributes” - can aid in a child’s development and ability to overcome LD. Each of the six success attributes - self-awareness, proactivity, perseverance, goal-setting, support systems, and emotional coping strategies - has been shown to lead to successful life outcomes for children with LD.

Now, innovative guides for parents and teachers offer new tools to help foster the development of these success attributes.  http://www.LDSuccess.org
