About Learning Disabilities Association

The Learning Disabilities Association London Region (LDALR) is a charitable, not-for-profit community organization in the SoHo neighbourhood. It serves the City of London as well as Middlesex, Elgin, and Oxford counties, providing support for children, youth, and parents of students with learning disabilities and ADHD. The organization offers reading programs for decoding, fluency, and comprehension; evidence-informed writing programs for expressive writing; academic tutoring for one-on-one subject support; and executive functioning programs. It also provides "Pathways To Your Future" for post-secondary transition planning and summer camps. For parents and families, the LDALR provides consultations, documentation analysis, school advocacy, parent advocacy workshops, and parent groups. Community resources include presentations, articles, and websites. The LDALR operates under the Trifecta of Beliefs Approach, which emphasizes a collaborative support system between the parent/family, the school, and the community. The organization works with community agencies and schools to offer training, information sessions, and workshops. Prospective clients begin by completing a new client registration form and submitting documents such as assessment documentation, IEPs, and report cards. A team member contacts the family to discuss needs and directions. The organization offers to discuss reducing or waiving fees during the intake and registration phase.
