discrimination.
Failure to cooperate will result in disciplinary action.

The Gifted Learning Project is a young organization, full of life and drive to help the public understand learning disabilities. We are a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization created for people with learning disabilities, started and operated by people with learning disabilities or with immediate family members with learning disabilities. We receive no pay for being on the board, and do this because we listen to our hearts and understand what it’s like to have a learning disability.
