Learning Disabilities Awareness Club

About us: 
At LDAC, we hope to form a community of passionate individuals that will use their voice on behalf of those who struggle to. A safe space will be made for students to discover and discuss their interests in learning disabilities (LDs), neurodevelopmental conditions, and other topics of similar interest. Students who wish to study LDs in their future will have the opportunity to begin this venture and hopefully continue onwards. Passionate and bright undergraduate students will be welcomed to voice their ideas on how to aid the global and local communities of children with LDs.
