About Our Branch

IDA-RMB Mission Statement

The mission of the International Dyslexia Association - Rocky Mountain Branch is to pursue and provide the most comprehensive range of evidence-based information, education, and services that address the full scope of dyslexia and other associated learning disabilities and to have a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and families affected by dyslexia so they may advocate for themselves and achieve their highest potential.

The International Dyslexia Association is a nonprofit organization founded in 1949 to continue the pioneering work of Samuel T. Orton, MD, in the study and treatment of dyslexia.

The Rocky Mountain Branch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to the study and treatment of the learning disability, dyslexia. This branch was formed to increase public awareness of dyslexia, and through our seminars, conferences, and workshops, serves individuals with dyslexia, their families, and professionals in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Local tutoring, testing, and other referral information can be obtained by contacting us.

Many of our 300+ members include educators, psychologists, physicians, individuals with dyslexia, and parents who have dealt with learning disability issues with local public and private schools. Please join us!

The Rocky Mountain Branch sponsors several half-day workshops each year designed to provide information about different aspects of dyslexia. To find out more about what is happening go to our Calendar/Events section
