International Dyslexia Association Announces Groundbreaking Parent Membership Initiative in Response to 40,000 Annual Inquiries

July 6, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

BALTIMORE, July 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The International
Dyslexia Association (IDA) announces a pioneer initiative to
support parents of dyslexic children. With one out of every ten
people struggling with dyslexia
, the IDA has taken the bold
step of offering direct support to parents for the first time in
its history.

A discounted membership of $45.00 will provide parents access to
an online interactive community including a discussion forum, blog
and more, a bi-monthly dyslexia newsletter, access to Perspectives
(the IDA’s quarterly publication focusing on dyslexia and other
reading problems), discounted pricing on IDA publications, access
to Annals of Dyslexia (a journal dedicated to the scientific study
of dyslexia), discounted admission to the IDA’s annual conference
which includes top experts on dyslexia, an online referral service
for treatment professionals, affiliation with a local branch of the
IDA which parents can use for local support and resources, the
opportunity for educational scholarships for their children, as
well as travel and insurance discounts.

The shift to offer resources directly to parents comes as a
result of an increased demand for support services for parents of
dyslexic children. Each year the IDA answers
30,000-40,000 direct inquiries to their national office from
individuals seeking more information on dyslexia. The IDA estimates
that up to 20% of the population demonstrates signs of dyslexia and
a recent study revealed that as many as 35% of entrepreneurs may be
dyslexic.

“We are excited to launch this pilot program to offer resources
to parents in need of answers and support with their child’s
dyslexia diagnosis,” stated Steve Peregoy, Executive Director of
the International Dyslexia Association.
