If you are a parent
or teacher of a child with a learning disability – or
have learning disabilities yourself - you are not alone. Typical learning difficulties include dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia – often
complicated by associated disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
The good news is that the Learning Disabilities Association of America is here to help.
Since 1963, LDA has provided support to people with learning disabilities, their parents, teachers and other professionals. At the national, state and local levels, LDA provides cutting edge information on learning disabilities, practical solutions, and a comprehensive network of resources. These services make the Learning Disabilities Association of America the leading resource for information on learning disabilities.
LDA believes that every
person with learning disabilities can be successful at
school, at work, in relationships, and in the community
-- given the right opportunities. Join
LDA in creating those opportunities.
