Calgary Learns presents LIFE = Learning Is For Everyone

Learning disabilities affect at least 10% of Canadians. More than 50% of these experience difficulty in learning to read. Learning disabilities (LD) are recognized as a lifelong neurological disorder. It is estimated that at least 30% and possible as many as 60% of adults in literacy and foundational learning programs have learning disabilities. In addition, an estimated 50% of individuals with LD also have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD).

We, adult foundational learning practitioners, are not qualified to diagnose learning disabilities, but it is important for us to understand, recognize and support the unique learning challenges and needs of these learners.
