It is estimated that one in ten people in BC – approximately 400,000 – from all age, ethnic, and social groups, are affected by learning disabilities.

LDABC’s mandate is to be the Provincial network and voice for persons with Learning Disabilities (LD) and those who support them. Founded in 1973, the association provides information and resources to ensure the full participation of children, youth and adults with LD in today’s society.

Our mission is to advance the education, employment, social development, legal rights and general well being of people with learning disabilties in the province of British Columbia.

Currently there are chapters in Victoria, Vancouver, Surrey, Coquitlam, Vernon, Williams Lake and Fraser Lake Northwest. Each chapter provides direct community programming.

LDABC is governed by a board of directors elected annually, and is member of the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada.
“We acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.”
