| Abstract: | Through a qualitative research study we developed a model of employment success based on the experiences of successful adults
with learning disabilities. This model may be particularly useful to students with learning disabilities in helping them experience
success both in school and beyond. We suggest that the components of the model—internal decisions comprising desire, goal
orientation, and reframing, and external manifestations or behaviors of persistence, goodness of fit, learned creativity,
and favorable social ecologies—can be systematically taught and then used. By focusing on what has worked for adults with
learning disabilities, we propose that the model taps into inherent strengths that can compensate for significant limitations
associated with learning disabilities. The model does not guarantee success, but it does equip students with learning disabilities
with a readiness to capitalize on opportunities that they might otherwise miss. |
