GET INVOLVED!
AET is an organization of volunteers. Working together, we have a robust membership with international representation. We have a national voice, through our work with NJCLD, the National Joint Council on Learning Disabilities that, among other goals, develops policy papers in the area of learning disabilities to clarify issues, influence policy, improve practice, and increase knowledge.

Within our organization we have many committees and subcommittees sharing the responsibilities and you are invited to join. Here is a partial listing. Please let us know if you have an interest in joining.
