Over 18,000 children and youth in B.C. are diagnosed with a Learning Disability. With few resources in the school system to support them they are being left behind. By definition children with learning challenges are of average or above average intelligence but blocks in one or more areas of the brain mean they have challenges understanding and using language and their ability to receive, process, recall or communicate information is affected. Learning challenges can lead to social anxiety, low self-esteem and many other challenges. Together we can help. LDAV offers remedial teaching that builds confidence by helping children understand their unique strengths and teaches them strategies and skills for overcoming their challenges. Armed with these tools children can advocate for themselves in school and access the education that will allow them to achieve their dreams. Every child has the right to learn and the power to achieve. Help us make this a reality today.
