LDAO is proud to be guided by the expertise and dedication of the LD@school / TA@l’école Advisory Committee (LTAC). This advisory group is composed of English and French educators, administrators, psychologists, and specialists from across Ontario who bring diverse perspectives and deep knowledge of inclusive education.
LTAC plays an essential role in informing the development, planning, and implementation of LDAO’s educator-facing initiatives. Their thoughtful contributions ensure that our resources and professional learning opportunities remain responsive to the evolving needs of educators, school leaders, and students with learning disabilities (LDs) and co-occurring conditions like ADHD. Together, we are working toward more inclusive and accessible classrooms across the province.
