Abstract

The International Academy for Research in Learning Disabilities (IARLD) is a voluntary association of the premiere scientists, educators, and clinicians in the field of learning disabilities throughout the world. The Academy was formed in 1976 by Dr. William Cruickshank (USA) and Dr. Jacob Valk (The Netherlands) with the intention of providing a forum for the exchange of information and the advancement of knowledge regarding learning disabilities. Throughout the past seven years, the Academy has begun to realize its mission of being a professional, international, interdisciplinary consortium of scientists. The Academy currently has a membership of more than 100 distinguished schlars, representing 21 different countries and several disciplines, and it will have a maximum of 200 Fellows. In its short history as an association, IARLD has encouraged international reearch in the field of learning disabilities, developed the Alexandria R. Luria Research Monograph Series in Learning Disabilities, maintained an exclusive publication, and has conducted international colloquia aimed at concerns in the study of research on learning disabilities.
