The Arizona Branch of the International Dyslexia Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the specific learning disability, dyslexia.

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) was founded in 1949 in memory of Dr. Samuel T. Orton, a distinguished neurologist who did pioneering work in identifying and treating dyslexia. The IDA is the oldest learning disabilities organization in the nation. Formed in 1984, the Arizona Branch of the IDA is a very active organization with diverse membership. Through our conferences, website and newsletter (Code Breaker), we provide up to date information about dyslexia and literacy research, conferences, local service providers, training opportunities and other events. We maintain a telephone hotline as an immediate resource for those who need it.
