Conference Info

The Atlantic Conference on Learning Disabilities will be held May 12-13, 2011 at Mount Saint Vincent University. 

Keynote speakers include actor and social activist Danny Glover and fellow actor Felix Justice, and author Sheree Fitch.  We'll also be joined by a number of experts from around Atlantic Canada who will share practical information on supporting those living with learning disabilities and ADHD.

We'll be focusing on three key areas - education, mental health and the impact learning disabilities have in our community.    We will enjoy a mix of group presentations, breakout workshops, and networking opportunities we hope will leave participants inspired and energized.
