In 1964, several Indiana parents and professionals joined with six other states to form a grass-roots group called “Adults & Children with Learning Disabilities” (ACLD). In 1989, as their growth spread across the United States, the name was changed to the “Learning Disabilities Association of America”. The National Headquarters is located in Pittsburgh, PA. LDA is the only national organization devoted to defining and finding solutions for the broad spectrum of learning disorders.
The Learning Disabilities Association of Indiana was officially established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 1972. To this day, we continue to be a unique “Hands-On” volunteer organization of parents, professionals and other individuals who work together to make a difference in the lives of individuals with Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorders.
LDA-IN is committed to promoting awareness, knowledge and acceptance of individuals with LD and AD/HD by encouraging early detection, appropriate educational services, accommodations and programs at all educational levels, vocational and career opportunities, and by offering information, advocacy training and support through our annual state conference, our newsletter, chapters and contact persons located across Indiana.
LDA is truly a “People-Helping-People” Organization!
