Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (LDAC) is the national voice for persons with learning disabilities and those who support them. LDAC is dedicated to a level playing field for individuals with learning disabilities to enable them to function as citizens with equitable opportunities and to develop to their chosen potential. LDAC accomplishes these goals through public awareness about the nature and impact of learning disabilities, advocacy, research, health, education and collaborative efforts.

Our Logo

The definition of the logo, corresponding to the three outer components of the logo, is as follows:

1. Collaboration - Many people working together to support and accommodate
2. Potential - Helping people lift off and achieve
3. Hope - Optimism, aiming high and working with passion

The new logo, approved by the national Board in June 2008, succeeds on all three fronts.

• The English name remains the same – this is an association of Canadians committed to a single focus – Learning Disabilities.
• In French, the name changes to Association canadienne des troubles d’apprentissage
• The icon conveys a sense of many people collaborating to support an individual; though diverse (employers, educators, parents, etc.), they are united in the task.
• The colours and the font of the new brand are clean, fresh and optimistic. This is a modern, forward-looking design that conveys how dynamic and innovative we are.

The slogan pulls it all together. LDAC works to protect the rights of people with LD to learn, while empowering them – through support and accommodation – to achieve their full potential as learners, employees and citizens.
