About LDAWC

Who We Are

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?
You’ve come to the right place! Please check out the rest of our website or don’t hesitate to contact us directly. The best way to receive support is to fill our contact form or email us at execdir@ldawc.ca.
