The International Dyslexia Association

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, scientific, and educational organization dedicated to the study and treatment of the learning disability, dyslexia as well as related language-based learning differences.

We are the oldest such organization in the U.S. serving individuals with dyslexia, their families, and professionals in the field. We number some 11,000 members - 60% in the field of education and 20% are individuals with dyslexia or parents of children who are dyslexic.

We operate 47 Branches throughout the U.S. and Canada, and have 10 Global Partners including the countries of Brazil, Czech Republic, Israel, and The Philippines.

Our annual budget of $2.1 million is funded by private donations, membership dues, foundation grants, sale of publications, conferences, and other development efforts. IDA receives no government funding. IDA has an all-volunteer Board of Directors.
