The IDA is an international, non-profit, scientific and educational organization dedicated to the study and treatment of dyslexia.

IDA offers an international network that brings professionals in the field of dyslexia and parents together for a common purpose. Contact IDA for referral services for testing and tutoring, and for free information on assistive technologies; medical and educational research; national and local conferences and seminars; legislation; public awareness; and effective teaching methods. *Visit their website to have a free Dyslexia information/tools kit sent to your school.
