Purpose:

To provide information, training, and support for teachers, students, parents, and others concerned with the education, health, and social and emotional well-being of all learners, especially those with high cognitive ability and diagnosed with learning disabilities, including ADHD.

Goals/Mission:

• To remove barriers and promote awareness and understanding in the community of students with high cognitive ability and co-existing learning difficulties which affect academic output, self esteem, and social interactions.
  
  
• To collaborate with the public school system to provide professional development for teachers, with the goal of accelerating achievement for students who are gifted and learning disabled.
  
  
• To offer support and information to families and encouragement to students.

Vision:

We envisage a learning environment for all children where individual differences in learning are identified, accepted, and accommodated in a way which protects children from humiliation. This IDEAL learning environment will enable children to recognize their true talents, help them to work around their weaknesses, and lead them to success.
