The International Dyslexia Association (IDA)

IDA has created several documents to define what all teachers of reading need to know and be able to do to teach all students to read proficiently. The IDA Standards were written for two main audiences: classroom educators and dyslexia specialists. Click here for more information.

IDA’s credentialing activities include the review and accreditation of university and independent teacher training programs and certification of individuals. Here is a list of university programs that have been accredited by IDA.

The IDA issues certifications recognizing professionals with the knowledge and skills to teach individuals with dyslexia to read.  The purpose of these credentials is to appropriately assess a professional’s ability to provide the necessary remediation for individuals with dyslexia and offer information to the public to choose qualified professionals.
