Support Iowa- International Dyslexia Association (IA-IDA)

We at IA-IDA aim to create a future for all individuals who struggle with dyslexia and other related reading differences so that they may have richer, more robust lives and access to the tools and resources they need.

Please consider supporting the Iowa branch of the International Dyslexia Association as we gear up to host another excellent educational conference on September 17th, 2022! This conference will help us raise local awareness of dyslexia, support local teachers, and serve local children with dyslexia! **see below for more details about our upcoming conference**

**IDA-IA 2022 Conference Universal Design for Learning: Meeting Everyone’s Needs in the Classroom will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2022, at Mount Mercy University CRST International Graduate Center in Cedar Rapids, IA. We will be holding a silent auction at our 2022 Conference in September. Come join the fun and see all the wonderful baskets you could bid on and win.

We plan to have a morning session with keynote national expert, Paula Moraine, along with an afternoon track filled with a variety of topics that will meet the needs of families, students, counselors, therapists, and educators alike.  

Paula Moraine, M.Ed., has been a teacher and tutor for elementary grades, high school, college students, as well as a mentor, coach, and adult educator in teacher training programs in the US, Germany, and Scotland. She has lectured widely in the US and abroad and is the author of Helping Students Take Control of Everyday Executive Functions – The Attention Fix (2012) and Autism and Everyday Executive Functions (2015).

We are delighted that Paula Moraine will be with us on September 17th, 2022 and grateful to Mount Mercy University for hosting the venue for the day.  These collaborations lessen the cost of providing such specific education to our region and allow us to provide such education at a very affordable cost. Please help us support these needed training opportunities and help us spread the word so we may impact and reach a record number of attendees this year!
