Our Mission Statement
It is the sincere mission of the GLP to be dedicated
to achieving the following goals:
- Educate the general public about learning disabilities.
- Provide school in-service programs, videos, books on tape/CD,
and DVDs.
- Host a GLP website.
We believe that by combining these three methods of outreach,
our organization will achieve our goal of increasing
awareness and understanding about learning disabilities. These
activities will account for approximately 20
percent of our organization's total activity.
Develop and/or distribute computer software and other resources
on a nationwide basis to help individuals with learning
disabilities effectively improve their comprehensive skills,
including reading, writing, math, and reasoning, as well as social
skills and self-esteem. These activities will account for
approximately 20 percent of our organization's total
activity.
Research, investigate, test, and approve or disapprove current
resources available to individuals with learning disabilities. GLP
will provide a free listing of approved resources via its website.
These activities will account for approximately 20
percent of our organization's total activity.
Support Network and Pride Program: The GLP also
will serve as a support network for individuals with learning
disabilities by providing one-on-one mentoring via the phone and/or
e-mail. The GLP website will include a listing of famous
individuals with learning disabilities who have excelled in their
careers. These activities will account for approximately 20
percent of our organization's total activity.
Scholarship Program: The GLP plans to provide
scholarships to individuals (both adults and children) with
learning disabilities. This activity, which has not yet begun, will
account for approximately 20 percent of our
organization's total activity.
