One in 10 Canadian children has a learning difference (LD).
Consistent learning support is especially critical for students with LDs. Even during the best of times, students with LDs struggle to keep up with their peers academically. Within the public education system, we see a mindset that each school can and does support every student’s learning needs. While this is a laudable aspiration, the reality is that few schools have the human resources, finances, or expertise to fully support students with learning disabilities to the extent required for these students to succeed.
Your support and giving allow children with LDs to build confidence, learn how to learn with their disability, and increase their chances of succeeding in school and life.
