Who We Are

The Learning Disabilities Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (LDANL) serves as a provincial network supporting individuals with learning disabilities and those who support them. LDANL offers learner-centered, customizable programs focused on building literacy, math, and learning skills for children, youth, and adults across Newfoundland and Labrador.

LDANL provides evidence-based tutoring, empowerment supports, non-diagnostic LD/ADHD screening, and navigation to help reduce educational and systemic barriers. Our organization also plays a vital role in raising public awareness, delivering workshops, and building partnerships to promote understanding and inclusion for people with learning disabilities.

As a national recognition of LDANL’s dedication and innovative approach, LDANL was awarded the Council of the Federation Literacy Award for NL in 2024.

LDANL is in partnership with the national association, the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada.

It is the vision of LDANL to enable all individuals with learning disabilities to reach their full potential.

LDANL’s mission is to raise awareness about, advocate for, and support individuals with learning disabilities, their families, and those who support them.
