General information

Learning Disabilities…Learning Differently

LD-Red Deer is committed to viewing “learning disabilities” in a positive light, as “learning differently”. We want to help persons who “learn differently” to achieve their full potential. After all, persons who “think differently” have intelligence that is average to above average to “gifted”.
These individuals have the capacity to help our society by “thinking differently”. Persons who “learn differently” are often innovating and seeing new solutions. Perhaps they can also lead others to new ways of thinking. According to the 2011 World Economic report, Canada is a leader in many aspects of business, but one area where we do not do as well is in innovation.
In fact, British research has indicated that 1 in 5 entrepreneurs have dyslexia. Providing support for persons with learning disabilities can clearly benefit Canadian society.
