With your membership number, you can access the Members Only section

opportunities on the Job Board page.
Connect with Others in Your Area
When dealing with local school systems, tutors and other resources,
it is invaluable to have access to individuals in your community
who can help. IDA maintains a "referral for services" database,
and has 46 branches serving the United States and Canada.
Continue a Tradition
IDA was established more than 50 years ago to continue the pioneering
work of Dr. Samuel T. Orton, a neurologist who began to identify
the biological basis of dyslexia and develop effective teaching
approaches.
