Our goal is to empower you and to advocate with you on behalf of your child or yourself.

WHAT WE DO
Learning Disabilities Associates provides education and support to individuals and families of children with specific learning disabilities by offering;

Educational programs
Learning disabilities are “hidden disabilities”. Misunderstanding can lead to frustration and failure in school and in life. We offer workshop and training opportunities in a variety of settings, tailored to the interests and needs of the audience. We assist professionals who wish to increase their knowledge about learning disabilities including guidance and practical strategies. We help parents better understand their rights and ways to help their children succeed. We offer interested community members opportunities to expand their knowledge and increase understanding. We offer programs in a wide variety of settings to diverse audiences in order to promote understanding of SLD. We tailor our training to your needs.

Advocacy
Families need help to understand and navigate the educational system so that a child receives appropriate supports, services and accommodations. Sometimes parents need a partner to participate in the process. We provide advocacy for pre-school, school age, post-secondary, and adults. Advocacy provides information regarding SLD, the rights of persons with SLD, and support in securing school, employment, and community services. With our knowledge and experience, we help to make you a strong member of the team as decisions are made regarding your family member.

Parent Education
Parents can be overwhelmed by their child’s frustrations in school. They may not feel confident with the terminology and/or the options offered by school personnel. Parent Education gives parents the tools they need to advocate on behalf of their children with SLD, or suspected SLD, by teaching about applicable state and federal laws, multi-factored evaluations, individualized education plans (IEPs) and parent-school relationships.
