Canadian Faces of Learning Disabilities (CFOLD) – Obtaining and Disseminating Knowledge

The objective of this project is to provide a research report synthesizing Canadian research that directly relates to Learning Disabilities (LD). This project will benefit Canadians as it will provide stakeholders who support individuals with LD with easy access to information. Easy access to recent research will help to educate Canadians on a variety of aspects pertaining to LD such as causes, diagnostic criteria, assessment procedures, underlying cognitive processing difficulties, learning strategies, assistive technology, and help individuals to develop an understanding of their diagnosis. The objectives of this project are to: i) collect research; ii) provide an analysis of recently published Canadian research; and iii) support knowledge mobilization pertaining to the last decade of Canadian research on LD, and identify topics in need of further exploration.
