About IDA
With over 13,000 members, we are the oldest organization of its kind in the United States serving individuals with dyslexia, their families, and professionals in the field. Since we do not receive government funding, our annual budget is funded by private donations, membership dues, foundation grants, sale of publications, conferences, and other developmental efforts. IDA has an all volunteer Board of Directors.
IDA focuses its resources in four major areas: information and referral services, research, advocacy and direct services (conferences and training) for professionals working with individuals with dyslexia.
We provide information:
To approximately 30,000 people annually via phone, mail and e-mail.Through our website to more than 250,000 visitors yearly.Through 40+ branches that conduct local conferences, seminars and support groups.By hosting an annual international conference that brings over 200 experts in the field together with approximately 3,000 individuals who are concerned with the issue of dyslexia and other learning disabilities.Through publications and newsletters.
In addition, we fund research on neurological, educational and developmental issues as they relate to dyslexia. We advocate for the rights of individuals with dyslexia both through legal and Federal legislative systems.
Nowhere else can a person discover such a full range of useful information, practices, and research about dyslexia than through The International Dyslexia Association!
