You do not need to have a diagnosed learning disability to use our services. LDAY is here to help all learners. Please note, however, that our capacity is limited and you may need to wait for some of these services.

Our Adult Learning Facilitator can support adults in the ways listed below.

  • Have you been newly diagnosed with a learning disability and are wondering what to do now? Or perhaps you are just starting to realize that learning and work are harder for you than it seems to be for others. The Adult Learning Facilitator can help you identify resources and strategies for your next steps.

  • Executive functions are the skills that help us get things done: planning, organizing, time management, emotional regulation, impulse control and more. There are many causes for executive dysfunction, such as ADHD, depression, or stress. (Please note none of these examples are learning disabilities. They can, however, impact learning and executive function.)

    Fortunately, executive function skills can be improved with practice or with supported tools. The Adult Learning Facilitator can help with one-on-one coaching or refer you to another team member at LDAY.

    For information about the Finding Time program, check out our Workshops page.

  • Are you going back to school? Was school challenging for you as a child or youth? We can help you evaluate your strengths, and offer tools and strategies for skills that need support.

  • Employers have an obligation to accommodate employees with disabilities. The Adult Learning Facilitator can help you evaluate your workplace to figure out what type of support or accommodations would benefit you.

  • LDAY does not provide psycho-educational assessments, although we do keep a list of local psychologists who offer them. For more information, contact Stephanie at 867-668-5167.

can lday help me with adhd?

We get a lot of calls about ADHD as many adults are realizing they may have it. ADHD is not considered a learning disability, so it is not our primary area of expertise. We can help in areas where learning and ADHD overlap, like executive function challenges.
