Abstract:
Reframing the learning disabilities experience has been identified by researchers as a key variable in employment success and adjustment in adulthood. This article provides a discussion of theory, related literature, methods, and techniques related to the process of reframing--from recognition, to understanding, to acceptance of the learning disability, to the development of a plan of action.
