Centre for Diverse Learners

Centre for Diverse Learners As the Centre for Diverse Learners, our mission is to support and empower diverse learners. https://linktr.ee/learndiverse Diversity includes everyone.

Why the name Centre for Diverse Learners? We do not want to be limited, by a name, in the types of students we are able to serve. We want all the students who need us to be seen and heard. Diversity is embedded in everything we do:

Diversity in Needs: Learning Disabilities (LDs) rarely appear on their own, and we serve students with LDs, ADHD, high-spectrum Autism, and the many other symptoms tha

t accompany these diagnoses, like executive functioning and mental health issues. Diversity in Learning: We pride ourselves on having a wide array of support and staff to assist our students every step of the way. Our programs and advocacy services cover a range of needs both in and out of the classroom. Diversity in Thought and Identity: Our staff, board members, and community come from many different walks of life, and each brings a unique perspective to help us continually improve the ways we support our students. Learning diversity is not restricted by age, race, religion, or gender and neither are we.
