About LEARNING DISABILITIES ASSOCIATION INC
Learning Disabilities Association, Inc. (doing business as LDA Minnesota) is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Golden Valley that provides diagnostic assessments, tutoring, executive function coaching, in-school interventions, professional development, and public education focused on learning disabilities and attention challenges. Over its decades-long history LDA Minnesota has expanded both direct services for children, families, and adults and educator-focused programs. In the last 2–3 years the organization scaled its Learning Connections in-school intervention program, launched and grew an approved special education Teacher Preparation & Licensure program (Academic Behavioral Specialist pathway), secured multi-year state grant funding to expand licensure and mentoring work, and relocated to a smaller, right-sized office after selling longtime property.
