Who We Are
Who Is The LDAWC
The Learning Disabilities Association of Wellington County (LDAWC) started in 1973. We are a charitable, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth and adults with learning disabilities so that they can reach their full potential. The Association continues to be a grassroots organization that relies on volunteers to carry out its many functions. The Association does not have a permanent office.
We help individuals and their families who have learning disabilities (LDs) to reach their potential.
- Are you a parent and struggling to find effective strategies to help your son/daughter succeed at school or at home?
- Are you looking for extra resources and information about LDs, or ADHD?
- Are you struggling to navigate the school special education system and don’t understand things like IEPs, the IPRC?
- Are you looking for someone to advocate on your behalf – in the school system or in the workplace?
