Helping Parents and Teachers Deal with Dyslexia Effectively

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA), (formerly the Orton Dyslexia Society), is an international, 501(c)(3) non-profit, scientific and educational organization dedicated to the study and treatment of dyslexia. The IDA was first established nearly 50 years ago to continue the pioneering work of Dr. Samuel T. Orton, who was one of the first to identify dyslexia and its remediation.
