Welcome to CCLD!

The Colorado Council for Learning Disabilities (CCLD) is affiliated with The Council for Learning Disabilities (CLD). Our Web site provides resources to support a collaborative effort between general education, special education, families and related professionals. Our goal is to enhance learning for individuals with learning disabilities as well as ALL struggling learners through the use of evidenced-based practices.

 

Mission Statement



The Council for Learning Disabilities (CLD) is an international organization that promotes evidence-based teaching, collaboration, research, leadership, and advocacy. CLD is comprised of professionals who represent diverse disciplines and are committed to enhancing the education and quality of life for individuals with learning disabilities and others who experience challenges in learning.

 

What does CCLD do in Colorado?

CCLD plays an important part in the design and development of several state-wide professional-development opportunities. Members get reduced registration fees for most CCLD sponsored events.

  • Math on the "Planes"® links assessment and evidenced-based instructional practices in the teaching/learning cycle embedded within RtI.
  • Courage to Risk focuses on how special and general education teachers can provide opportunities for success for students with disabilities.
  • Reading in the Rockies CCLD has a reciprocal agreement with IDA. CCLD members may attend Reading in the Rockies at a reduced membership rate and IDA members may attend Math on the "Planes" at the CCLD membership rate.
  • Colorado Odyssey Project® provides a series of classes and a culminating conference designed to provide in-depth training for general and special education teachers. Recent classes have provided a year-long focus on the 5 components of reading.
