The Learning Specialists Association of Canada was formed in 2011 through a merger of the Learning and Study Skills Association of Canada (LASSA) and the Learning Specialists Association of British Columbia (LSABC).

Across Canada, members of LSAC are known by many titles, including disability specialists, learning skills counsellors, and learning strategists, but all are considered learning specialists.

Regardless of job title, members of LSAC

• are professionals working in higher education to support and further student, faculty, staff, and administrative goals
• provide comprehensive learning development support through a variety of programs, methods, strategies, and assessments
• rely on a combination of scholarship, empirical data, practical experience, and sound pedagogy.
