Mission Statement

NLDA Mission Statement

The Nonverbal Learning Disorders Association (NLDA) is an international non-profit corporation committed to facilitating education, research and advocacy for children and adults who manifest disabilities associated with the syndrome of nonverbal learning disorders.

The NLDA volunteer workforce includes individuals with learning disabilities, their families and associates, and those who provide professional care and intervention. We strive to enhance the lives of all individuals with NLD by encouraging effective identification and intervention, fostering research, and protecting the rights of learning disabled individuals. The NLDA seeks to accomplish this through awareness, advocacy, empowerment, education, and service.

The NLDA is dedicated to a world in which all individuals with NLD can thrive and participate fully in society; a world in which the assets of the syndrome are as recognizable as the deficits, and a world in which NLD is understood and addressed with care and compassion.
