About Us

The Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta (LDAA) opened its doors in 1968 and continues to help Albertans living with learning disabilities, and those who support them.

Although the LDAA’s initial focus was advocating on behalf of children, it became apparent that Albertans of every age deserved support in navigating living with learning disabilities. LDAA became a registered charity and expanded services to meet this growing need.

Today, LDAA supports thousands of Albertans every year while striving to achieve our mission. These include advocating at the provincial level for positive change, working with LearnAlberta.ca on educational resource development, providing training such as the Right to Read program for educators, offering two scholarship funds, offering programs by our Edmonton chapter, providing a web site of resource tools, and many other activities.

LDAA is a member of the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (LDAC), who are dedicated to building a level playing field for individuals with learning disabilities so they may function as citizens with equal opportunities and to develop to their chosen potential across our country. LDAC member organizations can be found in provinces across Canada.
