The Frostig Center is a non-profit organization that specializes
in working with children who have learning disabilities. Founded
in 1951 by Marianne Frostig, a pioneer in the study, diagnosis,
and treatment of learning disabilities, the Center is dedicated
to a three-part mission of:
-
Conducting research on the causes/effects of learning
disabilities;
-
Providing parent, tutor, educator training and consultation
in how to work with children who struggle to learn; and
-
Offering direct instructional services to children with
learning disabilities through the Frostig School and other
community services.
The Center houses an internationally recognized research
department whose research is widely published in leading professional
journals. The Center also provides on-site academic instruction
for 100 students ranging from 1st to 12th grade, evaluation
and consultation for over 800 children, after school tutoring
and summer workshops for an additional 150 children, and ongoing
training for over 1,000 professionals each year. The Center
provides services to children, families, and professionals
throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Center staff totals
approximately 100 and consists of researchers, credentialed
teachers, licensed therapists, administrators, paraprofessionals
and support staff.
We are excited to announce that beginning in the Fall of 2009,The Frostig Center will be offering TEMPUS, a semester-long transitional support program which aims to prepare students with learning disabilities for success in their post-secondary studies at college.
