Parents often wonder about phones - when should I allow my child to have one or how do I not permit one in a society where most other parents are providing this to their children? How do I set boundaries and safety around phone use? What is healthy and unhealthy phone usage? Here is a podcast and transcript discussing some of these topics. Listen or read, as you wish.

Some parents think - I’m not giving my child a phone, so I don’t need to consider this. A tablet or any internet access provides your child the same exposures, so have similar considerations.

An important chance for adults with LD to share their experience and help shape knowledge on this topic.

OTTAWA, ON – The Learning Disabilities Association of Canada (LDAC) proudly announces the launch of the Canadian Faces of Learning Disabilities (CFOLD) survey. Led by a team of experienced Canadian researchers, in partnership with LDAC volunteers, the survey will provide valuable information as to the lived experiences of individuals in Canada who have a learning disability (LD), which is currently not available at this scale.

The CFOLD survey focuses on mental health impact, with questions also related to the workplace and education. Canadians who self-identify as LD and who are 18 or older are invited to learn more and complete the survey. The bilingual survey will be open from October 1st to October 31st (Learning Disabilities Awareness Month) and takes about 5-10 minutes to complete.

Dr. Lauren Goegan, co-chair of the CFOLD committee, emphasized the survey’s value: “With this information, LDAC and our provincial and territorial partners will have current data to support individuals with LD living in Canada with appropriate programs, services, educational resources and tools.”

Research findings will be peer-reviewed and communicated in accessible formats to the LD community in 2025.

Quick Facts:

Learning Disabilities (LDs) are neurological disorders that impact the way a person processes information and can affect one or more areas of learning, such as:
- reading (dyslexia)
- written language (dysgraphia)
- mathematics (dyscalculia)

LDs may occur with other types of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as:
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Developmental language disorder (dysphasia)
- Developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia)
- Perceptual disorders that affect vision or audition

One in ten, or 4 million Canadians, live with a LD.
