The NVLD Project

We're excited to introduce our newest ambassador, Ryan! Ryan is a teaching assistant at a special education school, a community integration specialist working with individuals with disabilities, and a recreation program staff member. Pumped to have you on the project, Ryan!

"Most of us enter the workplace with somewhat of a healthy sense of our strengths and weaknessesand I'd say that by the glut of self-improvement and leadership podcasts, books and courses available, thousands of us see ourselves as works in progress. But then we do one of two things: we either focus on growing in our area of strength or we grapple with our weaknesses. What gets the best results?"

"Despite many companies' initiatives to build a more inclusive team, people in marginalized groups are still being left out of the equation. One of these groups is those with learning disabilities, when in fact, many of them meet and even exceed the qualifications of any other top applicant."

"Millions of Americans are hoping that 2021 will bring much needed changes and individuals with disabilities are no exception. As employers consider hiring needs for the new year, this information can help inform their decisions so they don’t miss out on the talented and motivated potential employees who are often overlooked."

From @livingwithnld: "On February 20th from 10 am-10:40 am PT, there is a Zoom meeting for people with NLD. I want to create a safe place for people with NLD to share personal things that stay in this group, if they want to share them that is. #livingwithnld #NVLD #NLD Email [email protected] for the Zoom link.
