​Learning disabilities (LD) can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or background. These conditions can make it difficult for individuals to learn, communicate, and navigate the world around them. It is important for us as a society to raise awareness about LD and work towards creating an inclusive and supportive environment for those affected by it.

LD is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to process, store, and communicate information. This can lead to difficulties in reading, writing, math, and other areas of academic performance. However, it is important to note that having LD does not mean that an individual is not intelligent or capable. In fact, many individuals with LD possess unique strengths and abilities that should be celebrated and nurtured.
It is important for us to recognize that individuals with LD may require different types of support and accommodations in order to thrive. This can include extra time on tests, assistive technology, or specialized instruction. By providing these resources, we can help individuals with LD reach their full potential and contribute to society in meaningful ways.

What can you do this month to support LD awareness? Start by working towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with LD. By raising awareness and providing necessary resources, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

​​
Beyond some incredible resources, October 19th is LDAC's National Virtual Conference.  This year's conference is on Empowering Inclusion, focusing on Legal. LDAC is an incredible association . As a National Committee member of the Learning Disabilities Association's PACFOLD (Putting a Canadian Face on Learning Disabilities) initiative, we are undertaking the revision and new research on Learning Disabilities Statistics in Canada. It is an honour to be a part of this national project.
