Our First Weekend Session
We are pleased to offer the first of what we hope will be a continuing series of weekend presentations.

Her work is helping many children who have learning disabilities and has been written about in The Telegram ( https://www.thecentralvoice.
Date: Saturday, March 30th

Location: LDANL office

As you know, our space is limited. Please reply to edie@ldanl.ca to save your spot as it will be first come first served.
We hope to use these weekend presentations as a small fundraiser for our programs (all funds collected will go to LDANL, Dr. Hutchenson has graciously offered her services for free). We suggest a donation of $20 but nobody will be turned away.
Needs Assessment
We would like your input to help us expand our services and supports. We invite you to please complete the Needs Assessment Survey below. It can also be accessed through the menu. We strongly encourage you to share this survey with anyone who has a learning disability and/or those who support them.
Accessibility Legislation – Public Consultation
The Department of Children, Seniors and Social Development is currently undergoing a process for reviewing and developing new legislation around accessibility. They are seeking input from individuals, advocacy groups and community stakeholders. They want to know what barriers people with Disabilities face and how to prevent/remove them. Print access is a barrier for many people with Learning Disabilities! Have your say! Follow this link to input your thoughts:
