The Learning Disabilities Association of Wellington County is a charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth and adults with learning disabilities so that they can reach their full potential.
Through outreach, education, advising and advocacy, the association’s mandate is to advance the education, employment, social development, legal rights and general well-being of individuals with learning disabilities.
A learning disability is often referred to as “the invisible disability” because you would not know, when meeting someone, that s/he has a difficulty with reading, writing, math or organizational skills.
People with learning disabilities are often circumscribed because they are not able to perform what most of us consider simple tasks.
Many people with a learning disability have low self-esteem, suffer from depression and anxiety, and lack social skills.
