The Learning Disabilities Research Association of China (LDRAC) is a national, non-profit organization. Our purpose is to advance the education and general welfare of elementary and secondary school students of normal or potentially normal intelligence who manifest disabilities of a perceptual, conceptual, or coordinative nature.
LDRAC is a national, non-profit, volunteer organization including professionals and education administrative personnel from various educational settings. LDRAC is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all individuals with learning disabilities and their families, to alleviating the restricting effects of learning disabilities, and to supporting endeavors to determine the causes of learning disabilities. LDRAC seeks to accomplish this through advocacy, education, research and service, and through collaborative efforts.
Learning disability (sometimes called a learning disorder or learning difficulty), is a classification including several disorders in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner, usually caused by an unknown factor or factors. The unknown factor is the disorder that affects the brain's ability to receive and process information. This disorder can make it problematic for a person to learn as quickly or in the same way as someone who isn't affected by a learning disability. Learning disability is not indicative of intelligence level. Rather, people with a learning disability have trouble performing specific types of skills or completing tasks if left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways.
A learning disability cannot be cured or fixed. With the right support and intervention, however, people with learning disabilities can succeed in school and go on to be successful later in life.
