Our mission is to improve the lives of children, youth and adults with learning disabilities so that they can reach their full potential. We do so by prioritizing high-quality programming, resources, and educational events. Our vision is to continue building a community where learning disabilities are understood and accepted. |

The LDAWC is looking for volunteers to support our Reading Rocks program in the Spring of 2024. Specifically, we are looking for volunteers who will work one-on-one with a child with learning disabilities to gain confident and motivation in their reading skills.
