Learning Disabilities Association of America [web resource]

Since 1963, Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA) has provided information on learning disabilities, practical solutions, and a network of resources to support individuals with learning disabilities, their parents, teachers and other professionals.

Made possible by a grant from the Learning Disabilities Foundation of America, LDA provides articles, guides, and booklets on specific learning disabilities and related disorders and on mental issues, which can co-occur with learning challenges.
