Life Success For Students With Learning Disabilities:
A Teacher Guide
Success Defined
Success is not easy to define. It means different things to different people and may even mean something different at different times in a person’s life. Although views of success vary, there appear to be a number of things that most people include when they think of success: good friends, positive family relations, being loved, self-approval, job satisfaction, physical and mental health, financial comfort, spiritual contentment, and an overall sense of meaning in one’s life. Different individuals place lesser or greater emphasis on these various components of success. Hopefully, as educators, we can help our students not only to achieve academically, but also to achieve a satisfying and rewarding life. The question is “how?” Fortunately, research has provided some answers.
