Center for Learning & Development (CLD), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, exists to pursue better strategies which support children through the challenges of learning. In the past 30 years, significant strides have been made in the recognition, understanding, and remediation of learning disorders; however, translating this information so that it becomes useful to a single struggling child, the family, and those who serve the child is a much more daunting task. We know that 1 of every 5 school children struggles with a learning problem. Children with learning disorders struggle daily and are at risk for many negative outcomes often suffering academic failure, loss of self-esteem and self-worth to the point they shut down, become behavior problems, drop out of school, or become delinquents. CLD works with proactive partners in designing innovative solutions to more effectively meet the needs of all children. By joining partners within systems who serve youth and pooling our knowledge and resources, we can positively impact these systems and greater numbers of struggling youth. We cannot afford to lose even one.
