LDACC's latest program, "Parent-to-Parent" is now in full swing. This program matches dedicated LDACC parent volunteers with parents who are new to the challenges of having a child with SLD. Once trained and matched, the parent volunteers serve as a source of information and support. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Wendy at 216-581-4549 or wspitz@ldacc.org.
