Learning Disabilities Association, Red Deer, AB

We are a registered non-profit organization supporting persons with learning disabilities in Central Alberta.
Learning disabilities are a life long condition that affect up to 1 in 10 Canadians. This means approximately 30, 000 individuals in Central Alberta and 10, 000 in the Red Deer Region need our assistance. According to Statistics Canada, the percentage of Canadians with learning disabilities is increasing. You probably know someone with LD.
LD crosses all ages, genders, socio-economic, cultural and linguistic groups. It is likely that during your life you will be touched by someone with LD in your relationships with family, friends or co-workers.
Research estimates that 80% of learning disabilities, such as various forms of dyslexia, affect literacy. But with correct intervention, support, education and programs such as tutoring or social skills programs, persons with learning disabilities can achieve and excel.
