Each year during our Annual Fall Conference, we recognize Indiana students who are facing the
challenges of having a learning disability and/or attention deficit disorder, and honor them for their hard
work and perseverance toward achieving their academic and life goals. In addition, we are looking for
individuals who have been an inspiration to you for their dedication and commitment to making a difference
in the lives of students and/or adults with learning disabilities.
While we use the term “learning disability” in our descriptions below to simplify the text, individuals with
attention deficit disorder (ADHD) are included.
Please consider honoring someone from your school district or community by nominating them for one
of the awards listed below. Individuals may be nominated for more than one category if eligible. All
Nominees must be a resident of Indiana. The awards committee will send an acknowledgment to all
nominees submitted.
