The 2022 Annual Conference will be held in Richmond Virginia on October 20 and 21, 2022.
The Council for Learning Disabilities (CLD) 44^th  International Conference on Learning Disabilities will focus on the education of persons with learning disabilities (LD) from birth through adulthood.

We encourage proposals that:

• address the construct of LD (including assessment for eligibility and classification)
• present primary research on LD (including intervention and assessment practices)
• describe secondary research on LD (including literature reviews and meta-analyses)
• translate research into evidence-based instructional strategies;
• critically examine the education of students with LD from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds
• pertain to policy at the local, state, and federal levels;
• address topics relevant to higher education (including teacher preparation, mentorship of pre-tenured faculty and graduate students, and research methodology)
• explore positive behavior supports for people with LD
