The Learning Disabilities & ADHD Network is a collaborative initiative of a broad group of organizations, which is operated through Foothills Academy.

The Learning Disabilities & ADHD Network is supported by an Anonymous Donor at the Calgary Foundation.

The Learning Disabilities & ADHD Network’s website is an online resource that provides helpful information for children, teens, and adults with suspected or diagnosed Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD.
