Advocating for African American families with children who learn differently.
Welcome!
The AACLD is continually updating this website in order to bring you as much information and as many resources as possible. Your requests for information and details of your experiences help us to determine what should be added to the website and where our work should be focused.
If the information you are seeking is not here, please contact us. Every inquiry should include an email and physical mailing address as well as a telephone number so that we can keep in touch with you. If you do not receive a timely response to your inquiry, check back to see if any new information has been added to the website.
Most of all, please remember that in the present day educational environment, there are no "quick fixes" for helping a child who learns differently.
It will take years to change a failing system. Parents must be committed to learning as much as possible about how to exercise their rights and responsibilities under federal law and use that knowledge throughout their child's education. The educational success of our children depends on each of us.
The AACLD wishes for you and your family a very successful and rewarding journey!
