Who We Are
We are a not-for-profit charitable association of parents and professionals linked to a network of chapters in Calgary, Red Deer, and Edmonton.
We Believe…
- Every person is unique and this must be respected and reflected in public policy.
- Unwrapping the gifts of people with learning disabilities unlocks their full potential.
- People with learning disabilities are a vast untapped human resource.
- Early intervention and appropriate accommodation are essential.
- The consequence of neglecting learning disabilities is community wide and impacts resources in employment, mental health, justice, health, and other human services. The subsequent loss of human potential is immeasurable.
