Welcome to the Learning Disabilities Association of Halton (LDAH) website.

Learning is a life long process. Children with learning disabilities can learn if we have the skills to help them.

With your help and support, your child with learning disabilities can develop self-confidence and a positive self image, use their areas of strength to make up for their difficulties, learn to cope at school and at home and grow into a successful, capable adult.
