The
Frostig Center, located in Pasadena, California, was founded in 1951. It is a non-profit organization that specializes in working with children who have learning disabilities. Researchers at the Frostig Center have followed the lives of children and adults with learning disabilities for over twenty years. Through this
research they have "identified key factors that contribute to success." Per the
Life Success website,
"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.
Building from their 20+ years of research, the Frostig Center has made available two Life Success guides. One is for
parents and the other is for
teachers. You can view the parent guide online or download the pdf
here. (You will need
Adobe Acrobat Reader to download the pdf)
Read a few posts on your blog - I am a dyslexic and I recently posted seven tips for parents of dyslexic children and I wonder what you think of the post. I am interested in starting a conversation of sorts.
