About Us
The Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta – Red Deer Chapter has worked tirelessly since 1989, to provide services and support for persons with learning disabilities and to help raise awareness of learning disabilities – how they affect the individual, families and friends, and our communities.
Our Red Deer Chapter serves Central Alberta. We have resources and referrals, and have created events or programs, in many Central Alberta communities, including: Red Deer, Lacombe, Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, and other communities.
Looking for help or assistance? Reach out and contact us.

The Province of Alberta adds extra strength to Alberta’s non-profit donations and makes your charitable donations work harder!
Your individual donation supports the Red Deer Chapter of the Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta a second time through the Government of Alberta Community Spirit Grant Program.
“This program not only exemplifies the very spirit of this province, but its success is proof of Albertans’ unfaltering commitment to improving the lives of others,” said Premier Ed Stelmach.
The program’s goal is to help increase individual private donations to Alberta’s non-profit and charitable organizations. Two components make up the Community Spirit Program: the donation grant and the charitable tax credit. When added to the federal tax credit, this gives Albertans a 50% non-refundable tax credit for donations that exceed $200 in a tax year.
For more information, visit the Government of Alberta Community Spirit Grant Program.
