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
