We're on a mission to bring awareness about language-based learning differences to the public.

SoCal Tri-Counties Branch (TCB) of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA)

THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF TCB:
- Sponsor educational conferences and free community meetings
- Provide information, resources and referrals
- Serve as a liaison between you and cutting-edge researchers and their results as it relates to literacy development
- Provide networking opportunities with teachers, parents and

policy makers. DEFINITION OF DYSLEXIA:
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede the growth of vocabulary and background knowledge. Adopted by the IDA Board of Directors: November 12, 2002

IDA DISCLAIMER:
The International Dyslexia Association supports efforts to provide dyslexic individuals with appropriate instruction and to identify these individuals at an early age. The Association believes that multi-sensory teaching and learning is the best approach currently available for those affected by dyslexia. The Association, however, does not endorse any specific program, speaker, or instructional materials, noting that there are a number of such which present the critical components of instruction as defined by the Task Force on Multi-sensory Teaching which works under the guidance of the Association's Teacher Education Issues Committee.
