Each and every day, Canadians with learning disabilities (LD)
face the challenge of learning and processing information with
courage and determination. What they don't need is the added
challenge of having to explain LD to classmates, colleagues and
employers.
It's time to release the power...
The Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (LDAC) and its
member organizations across the country plan to set the record
straight on LD and the people who live with them. It's time for
all Canadians to not only understand LD but to celebrate the
unique achievements and capabilities of people living with LD.
Misperceptions about LD can foster barriers between people.
Together we can bring them down.

What is a learning disability?
"Learning Disabilities" refers to a variety of disorders that affect the acquisition, retention, understanding, organization or use of verbal and/or non-verbal information. These disorders result from impairments in one or more psychological processes related to learning, in combination with otherwise average abilities essential for thinking and reasoning. Learning disabilities are specific not global impairments and as such are distinct from intellectual disabilities.
