Annual World Congress on Learning Disabilities 2026

It was held at the University of Houston in Houston, Texas.

Researchers and practitioners are the stated audience.

It is most useful for researchers and practitioners working with students with Specific Learning Disabilities, since the 34th congress focused on research and tools, and its 2026 theme covered collaborative practice from school to community. The chairs came from the University of Houston and the University of Cologne, which signals an international academic mix, and on-campus lodging with lunch included kept logistics simple. Attendees looking for a vendor-heavy or purely commercial event would find less here.

Attendees at academic and education conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks, shirts or blouses and a light jacket. Houston in early October is warm, and meeting rooms are often heavily air-conditioned, so a layer helps.
