The Council for Learning Disabilities (CLD) is an international organization concerned about issues related to students with learning disabilities. Working to build a better future for students with LD has been the primary goal of CLD for more than 20 years. Involvement in CLD helps members stay abreast of current issues that are shaping the field, affecting the lives of students, and influencing professional careers. CLD members are committed to standards of excellence and innovation in educational research, practice, and policy. As a member of CLD, you become part of a powerful network to support these efforts.
If you wish to become more actively involved in CLD, check out a local/state chapter in your area. Chapters sponsor local and regional activities for individuals who want to keep current with the rapidly growing information base about people with learning disabilities. They also provide the opportunity for professionals to come together for discussion and camaraderie.
We hope you will take time to learn more about CLD, our conferences, our journals, and other work of our organization. We also hope you will consider joining us in promoting a greater understanding of learning disabilities.
