What We Do
We gather expert voices to provide a resource for students in search of support, in New York City and around the world. We are working to partner with established tutors to provide free or low cost access to resources generally reserved for only a few students. We keep abreast of the latest research regarding LD education policy in the United States and abroad, tracking developments in the area of student rights and watching for innovative teaching methods that could be useful to our community. We actively seek to educate the general public about LDs and their effects on students, increasing understanding in order to decrease stigma and counter misperceptions.
Who We Are
We are students from the world of New York high schools, working to take control of our education. If you are interested in joining or collaborating with the LDND team, contact founder Emma Moinian.
