Leadership Retreat

For many years before ALDS' founding, leaders of LD schools would gather to connect, recharge, and learn from one another. With the formation of ALDS, our annual Leadership Retreat continues to purposefully engage and refresh educators and administrators. We hope you will join us for an exciting and fulfilling opportunity to share insights, laugh, and grow alongside other LD school professionals as we work to build the next generation of leaders serving students with learning disabilities.
