A MESSAGE FROM COLLIN DIEDRICH
As a scientist with multiple learning disabilities I understand the personal struggle associated with thinking differently. However, I also know that having learning disabilities can be a gift. Our goal with LDA of PA is to provide services that can directly help students and adults that think differently achieve the life they deserve. Our services are focused on making science fun and accessible for everyone, demonstrating how comedy can be used to teach confidence and techniques to overcome negatives associated with thinking differently, and utilizing proven multi-sensory tutoring techniques to improve reading levels. One of our goals is to provide services on a sliding scale so no-one and no school is left behind because they are in financial need. We hope LDA of PA can help you, your loved ones, and community be happy.
Remember, everyone has a talent. Everyone has a gift. Let’s find them together!
