Are you a person with learning disabilities, a parent of
a child with learning disabilities, a professional working
with individuals with learning disabilities, or an interested
party visiting our web site? LDAT welcomes you!
Your chances of knowing a person with learning disabilities
are very good; they comprise 10-20% of the population, cutting
across every segment of society. Can we afford the loss of
the talents and contributions of this proportion of the population?
Of even one person?
Sharing information about learning disabilities is our first
priority and this is a grand opportunity to do just that.
If you do not find the answers to your questions, help us
to help you and perhaps others, by letting us know how we
can better serve you.
LDAT was chartered in 1963 as a not-for-profit, parent/professional
membership organization to offer help and hope to those struggling
with learning disabilities, the “invisible disability.”
We invite you to visit our membership
page and find out how you can become a part of LDAT.
Common learning disabilities
are in the areas of reading (dyslexia), math (dyscalculia),
and writing (dysgraphia), and are often further complicated
by related disorders such
as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. LDAT believes
that every person with learning disabilities can be successful
in school, at work, in relationships, and in their community
— given the right opportunities and support! Our mission
is to provide such support and increase opportunities for
all people with learning disabilities.
