About the Gladys Golman/Faye Dallen Education Fund

The Gladys Golman/Faye Dallen Education Fund (GGFDEF) was created by Louis and Robin Zweig in honor of their son David, who has Asperger’s Syndrome. The GGFDEF was started in September 2007 with the vision to provide educational resources for Dallas area preschool, day school, and religious-school teachers so that they, and their students with learning differences, could fulfill their educational responsibilities and needs. The fund finances educational seminars and training days, and focuses on helping teachers and religious-school leaders develop classroom strategies for learning differences such as autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia and other neurological disorders.

Accomplishments of the Gladys Golman/Faye Dallen Education Fund to date:

The Fund has sponsored and facilitated five training sessions in which 100 area teachers have gone through two hour training sessions which introduce and explain the neurological disorders which affect our children today.

The Fund is establishing a resource center in the Tycher Library at the Jewish Community Center of Dallas, where parents, students, and teachers can access the latest information about neurological disorders, learn best practices and develop strategies to foster success.
