LDA of South Carolina Information
In March of 1963, parents of children with learning disabilities representing local support groups from around the coun

try gathered in Chicago for a national conference. These concerned families organized into a national organization which was incorporated in 1964 as the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities (ACLD). From those beginnings, the Learning Disabilities Association of America has grown to serve tens of thousands of members with learning disabilities, their families, and the professionals who work with them. Today, LDA is the largest nonprofit volunteer organization advocating for individuals with learning disabilities and has over 200 state and local affiliates in 42 states and Puerto Rico. LDA’s international membership of over 15,000 includes members from 27 countries around the world. The membership, composed of individuals with learning disabilities, family members, and concerned professionals, advocates for the almost three million students of school age with learning disabilities and for adults affected with learning disabilities. The state and local affiliates, through their affiliation with the national LDA, work continuously for individuals with learning disabilities, their parents, and the professionals who serve them.

LDA is proud to be part of Safer States and to work on phthalates, microplastics and other chemicals and pollutants that can harm children's brain health. . Check out what bills are coming up in your state. We are happy to share more information and help you get involved!

Our new analysis finds states are treating plastics a public health problem. Policies states are likely to consider this year include reducing plastic use, phasing out toxic additives like PFAS and phthalates, and accelerating the shift to safer materials. 🙌
