Organization: Learning Disabilities Association of QuebecContact: The Learning Disabilities Association of Quebec (LDAQ) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to advocate and defend the rights of children and adults with learning disabilities. LDAQ represents parents and supports them in their efforts to help their children. The services offered throughout Quebec include:
LDAQ works to raise public awareness and offers information and referral services throughout Quebec. It responds to the needs of families by providing a listening service through the volunteers on its committees and at its local chapters. It sets up programs, in collaboration with CLSCs and school boards, to assist families and detect "at-risk" children while they are still in daycare. It also trains tutors to help students with homework, and creates special projects intended for adults. Each year, the Association holds an international conference which brings together more than a thousand parents and specialists in an effort to galvanize the natural allies of learning-disabled individuals and defend a common cause. The conference provides an ideal opportunity to exchange information and encourage research.
