ABOUT THE LEARNING DISABILITIES ASSOCIATION OF WINDSOR - ESSEX COUNTY
The Learning Disabilities Association of Windsor - Essex County (LDAWE) is a chapter of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario (LDAO). The organization was reactivated in 1993 by a small group of concerned parents and professionals in the Windsor – Essex County area, who were committed to improving the quality of life for learning disabled individuals. In 2001, a 3-year Ontario Trillium Foundation grant was received to open a resource and support centre. In February 2004, the organization received its Charitable Status from the Canadian government. The local activities of the organization are governed by a volunteer board of directors, who follow the policies of LDAO.
The Mission of LDAWE is to assist children, youth and adults with learning disabilities and those who support them through information sharing, support and relevant programs.
The main purpose of LDAWE is to provide information and referral services to individuals, parents, professionals, and other people interested in learning disabilities and ADHD. In keeping with the mission statement, the following Programs and Services for individuals with a diagnosed learning disability have been added in addition to the information and referral services:
