individuals with dyslexia to realize their fullest potential. The voice of our
members is heard among educators, professionals, and policy makers in the United

strengthen the voice of people with dyslexia and enhance their ability to
benefit from early intervention and effective teaching methods.

Dyslexia and Related Issues

the yearly peer-reviewed journal, Annals of
Dyslexia, and the local branch newsletter, Code
Breaker. These publications provide the latest information
about legal and legislative issues, medical and educational research and
technology.
Receive Discounts

international and local conferences.
Connect with Others in Your
Area
When dealing with local school systems, tutors and other resources, it is
invaluable to have access to individuals in your community who can help. IDA
maintains a "referral for services" database, and has 44 branches
serving the United States and Canada.
Access an International
Network
IDA members include individuals with dyslexia and their families,
diagnosticians, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, teachers, tutors and
others who support our mission. Our membership extends to more than 60 countries
with National Affiliates in Brazil, the Czech Republic, Israel and The
Phillipines.
Continue a Tradition
IDA was established more than 50 years ago to continue the pioneering work of
Dr. samual T. Orton, a neurologist who began to identify the biological basis of
dyslexia and develop effective teaching approaches.
