LDWorldWide.org is an organization that seeks to “enhance the lives of individuals with learning disabilities, with a special emphasis on the underserved. Our purpose is to identify and support the unrecognized strengths and capabilities of persons with learning disabilities.” The organization claims to advocate across the age span, provides multilingual resources, and seems to tilt toward the view of LD as a gift. I’m sorry that they omit TeachingLD.org for their list of resources.

Here’s another example of someone using the term “Learning Disability” as a derogatory term. In this case, Bao Le-Huu writes for the Orlando (FL, US) CityBeat about musical acts in his area.
The next night I was back to the Booth for more local action, beginning with indie band Doris Delay. Besides being unfocused and featherweight, this is the type of music that’s made by virgins and it’s all just a little too cute for me. Smoking with all the finesse of one who picked up the habit that afternoon and bouncing around onstage with movements that suggest some profound learning disability, that bassist’s a sight that makes eyes sore. They really should do something about him.
