LDA Maryland
LDA America has affiliate chapters in all 50 states, this is the State of Maryland which has 24 Counties.
Montgomery County is the primary chapter, therefore the majority of information is on this dedicated website.
Over the last year, LDA has worked hard to:
*Advocate on Capital Hill to promote awareness to representatives from 12 states on the importance of policy and equity of standards in special education
*Participate in Community outreach with organizations such as: Transitions Working Group, Montgomery County Special Education Division, College Living Experience, Montgomery College, and Committee of Educational Funding
*Educate members all year long on cutting edge topics in special education and best practices by consistently offering online and in person opportunities on our website
*Engage and empower adults 21 and older in our social group: Hang Out Hive where members with learning disabilities come together to support and enjoy each other’s company while being coached on various life skills by facilitators
2023 was a spectacular year of joy, enriching opportunities for growth, and unity for LDA, and we can’t wait to join with you in this New Year of 2024 to grow even further together in the spirit of inclusion and dignity for all of our members!
With gratitude,
Kelly Tanzi, President
