The Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA) is a renowned organization dedicated to empowering individuals affected by learning disabilities. Their vision is to create a world where learning disabilities are universally understood, and every individual is accepted, supported, and empowered to live a self-determined life. LDA achieves its mission through support, education, and advocacy.

They promote prevention by encouraging research to identify the causes of learning disabilities and disseminate findings to reduce their incidence. LDA also fosters ongoing research in recognition, assessment, and intervention strategies throughout the lifespan. The organization advocates for early identification and access to identification throughout one's life, increasing the possibility of successful intervention.

They strongly support best practice interventions and work towards protecting the rights of individuals with learning disabilities through legislative and individual advocacy. LDA's history dates back to 1964 when a group of parents founded the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities, later becoming LDA. Their dedicated staff, board of directors, and advisory board members ensure the organization's success in providing resources and support to those impacted by learning disabilities
