Dr. Marshall Raskind - Life Success for Students with Learning Disabilities May 20 at Eastside CHADD

Eastside CHADD provides support and information for families and individuals living with ADHD. 

On Tuesday, May 20, Dr. Marshall Raskind will discuss Life Success for Students with Learning Disabilities: What Does the Research Say?

While acknowledging the importance of “school success,” it is critical not to discount the broader notion of “life success”. Drawing from his own 20-year study that traced the lives of children with learning disabilities from childhood into adulthood, Dr. Marshall Raskind will discuss the factors predictive of positive life outcomes. He will also present a conceptual model for fostering these “success attributes” in youth with learning disabilities.
