As the oldest branch of IDA, we have been providing research-based information on dyslexia to the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California for more than 40 years. Our goals are simple: to increase awareness of dyslexia, disseminate information about dyslexia, and to encourage the use of research-based programs for teaching students with dyslexia. We offer workshops for parents and teachers, a hands-on simulation called Experience Dyslexia®, and resources to increase awareness and support for those affected by this learning difference.
