What Is ldamc.org? LDAMC’s Transition to LDA Maryland Explained

Updated

ldamc.org is the former website of the Learning Disabilities Association of Montgomery County (LDAMC), a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. The site now serves as a transition notice: LDAMC is operating through the Learning Disabilities Association of Maryland (LDAMD), and visitors are redirected to the new LDA Maryland home. If you are looking for current programs, resources, or contact information, use the LDA Maryland site rather than ldamc.org.

What the LDAMC to LDA Maryland Transition Means

The page states plainly: “LDAMC Has Transitioned to LDA Maryland” and “LDA Montgomery County is now part of LDA Maryland.” This is an organizational consolidation, not a shutdown of services. The Montgomery County affiliate’s work is now folded into the statewide LDA Maryland organization.

For visitors, the practical effect is a change of address and scope:

  • Before: LDAMC served Montgomery County under its own site and identity.
  • Now: LDAMC operates as part of LDA Maryland, which covers the state.
  • Your next step: Follow the redirect or use the “Continue Now” / “Click/Tap to visit LDA MD” links on the page.

The transition page also offers two supporting documents: a certificate for Montgomery County and transition documentation. These are worth checking if you need formal confirmation of the change for records, grants, or partnership purposes.

Where Did LDAMC Move? How to Reach the New LDA Maryland Website

ldamc.org no longer hosts the organization’s active content. The page displays a five-second redirect notice and then sends you to the new LDA Maryland site. You have three ways to get there:

  1. Wait for the automatic redirect — the page says it will redirect “in 5 seconds.”
  2. Click “Continue Now” — skips the wait.
  3. Click “Click/Tap to visit LDA MD” — a direct link to the new home.

If the redirect does not fire, use one of the manual links. This can happen with strict browser privacy settings, content blockers, or a cached version of the page.

Is LDAMC / LDA Maryland a Tax-Exempt 501(c)(3) Non-Profit?

Yes. The site identifies the organization as a “Non-Profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.” That status is the key detail for anyone checking whether donations are tax-deductible, whether the group can receive grant funding, or whether it qualifies for non-profit partnership arrangements.

Because the organization now operates as LDA Maryland, verify current tax-exempt documentation and any solicitation registrations on the LDA Maryland site or by contacting the organization directly. Non-profit status can be confirmed through official IRS records as well.

What Kind of Help Does the Learning Disabilities Association of Maryland Offer?

The organization focuses on learning disabilities — conditions that affect how a person reads, writes, calculates, or processes information. Non-profit learning disability associations of this type typically provide:

  • Information and education about learning disabilities and related conditions
  • Referrals to assessments, specialists, schools, and support services
  • Advocacy for individuals and families navigating special education
  • Community and parent support through meetings, events, and networks

Specific programs, eligibility rules, meeting schedules, and service areas are now hosted on the LDA Maryland site, so treat ldamc.org as a pointer rather than a resource hub. If you need help today, go to LDA Maryland and look for its programs, resources, or contact page.

Who Should Use This Information

This matters most if you:

  • Found ldamc.org through an old link, bookmark, or printed material
  • Are a parent or individual seeking learning disability support in Maryland
  • Need to confirm the organization’s non-profit status for a donation or grant
  • Are updating records, referral lists, or partner directories that still cite LDAMC

In each case, the answer is the same: the Montgomery County organization is now part of LDA Maryland, and the current website is the place to find active services and contacts.
