Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent research suggests that the success of adults with learning disabilities is attributed to accepting weaknesses but building on strengths. Therefore, Allen probably accepts his weaknesses and focuses on his strengths, which has contributed to his success as an architect. Option A is incorrect because allowing others to set goals for oneself is not a predictor of success in adults with learning disabilities. Option B is also incorrect because defining oneself by a disability is not a positive predictor of success. Finally, option C is incorrect because duration of participation in special education does not predict success.
