Donors

Like you, we believe that access to expert, specialized learning supports should be available to all children and youth, regardless of their ability to pay.

Why LDS?

Thanks to donors like you, LDS has been transforming the lives of children with learning differences for over 50 years!

Our methods work for kids.

UBC studies of our students have shown remarkable advancement in literacy.

Our interventions can help society.

According to a report from the Justice Institute of BC and the Vancouver Board of Trade, “Early interventions for disadvantaged kids… reduce crime, teenage pregnancy and welfare dependency.”
