What the LDAMC to LDA Maryland Transition Means

Updated

ldamc.org now serves as a redirect page: the Learning Disabilities Association of Montgomery County (LDAMC) has transitioned into the Learning Disabilities Association of Maryland (LDAMD), and visitors are forwarded to the new statewide site after a short countdown. If you arrived at ldamc.org looking for Montgomery County programs, the practical answer is that the county organization no longer operates as a separate entity — its work continues under LDA Maryland.

What changed

The page states plainly that "LDA Montgomery County is now part of LDA Maryland." That is a consolidation, not a shutdown: the Montgomery County affiliate's activities are folded into a statewide organization rather than discontinued.

Two details on the page support this reading:

  • The heading "LDAMC Has Transitioned to LDA Maryland" frames the change as a transition, not a closure.
  • The page offers a "Transition Documentation" link, so the formal record of the move is available to anyone who wants to verify it.

What stays the same

The mission does not change with the name. LDA Maryland is described on the page as a "Non-Profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization," the same status the Montgomery County affiliate would have held. For families, educators, and volunteers, the subject matter — learning disabilities support and advocacy — carries over; only the organizational scope widens from one county to the whole state.

What to do if you land on ldamc.org

  1. Wait for the automatic redirect, or select "Continue Now" to skip the countdown.
  2. Use "Click/Tap to visit LDA MD" to reach the new site directly.
  3. If you need proof of the change for a grant, referral, or records request, open "Click/Tap to view the Transition Documentation."
  4. If you specifically need the Montgomery County certificate, the page keeps a separate "Certificate for Montgomery County" link.

Common points of confusion

"Did LDAMC close?" No. The page describes a transition into a larger organization, and it retains county-specific documents.

"Is ldamc.org still the right address?" It works as a pointer, but the current home is LDA Maryland. Bookmark the new site rather than relying on the redirect.

"Does a statewide merger change who I contact?" The page does not list contact details or service specifics, so use the LDA Maryland site for current programs, staff, and inquiries.
