National survey on Learning Disabilities

The Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (LDAC) proudly announces the launch of the Canadian Faces of Learning Disabilities (CFOLD) survey. The survey focuses on mental health impact, with questions also related to the workplace and education. Canadians who self-identify as LD and who are 18 or older are invited to learn more and complete the survey. The results will provide an overall picture of the impact of LD and its prevalence in Canada.

LDAC Research Hub

''Looking for information about Learning Disabilities can be challenging. It's often hard to separate fact from opinion...''

Start your journey here

The LDAC Research Hub is a new curated resource, put together by a dedicated team of professionals who know and understand Learning Disabilities (LD). Whether you are a researcher, educator, parent/caregiver, or just somebody looking for more information about LD, you'll find what you need here.

We have gathered the summaries of 10+ years of Canadian peer-reviewed journal articles related to LD, and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as it related to LD, including bibliographic information.

A message from the Chair

In 2023, the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (LDAC) celebrated 60 years of supporting individuals with learning disabilities (LDs), promoting inclusive practices and advocating for equitable opportunities.  A heartfelt thank you to all our donors, sponsors, regional and local partners, volunteers and staff for their unwavering support and dedication.

The Learning Disabilities Association of Canada acknowledges that it is active across the traditional, ancestral territories of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples of Canada. We recognize the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge of Indigenous peoples connected to this land. We are grateful for the opportunity to be here and we thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land for thousands of years.

LDAC is committed to recognizing, respecting, and supporting the diverse cultures, languages, and experiences of the Indigenous peoples of Canada. We believe it is our collective responsibility to honour their histories, cultures, and rights as we work together to forge a better future.

LDAC honors and shares traditional Indigenous community’s timeless concern to “leave no one behind“.”
