About The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) 

Our Mission:

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) is an international organization that concerns itself with the complex issues of dyslexia.  The IDA membership consists of a variety of professionals in partnership with dyslexics and their families and all others interested in The Association’s mission.

We believe that all individuals have the right to achieve their potential, that individual learning abilities can be strengthened and that social, educational and cultural barriers to language acquisition and use must be removed.

The IDA actively promotes effective teaching approaches and related clinical educational intervention strategies for dyslexics.  We support and encourage interdisciplinary research.  We facilitate the exploration of the causes and early identification of dyslexia and are committed to the responsible and wide dissemination of research based knowledge.

Our Purpose:
 
The purpose of IDA is to pursue and provide the most comprehensive range of information and services that address the full scope of dyslexia and related difficulties in learning to read and write. . . In a way that creates hope, possibility, and partnership.

So that every individual has the opportunity to lead a productive and fulfilling life, and society benefits from the resource that is liberated.
