About Our Branch

IDA-RMB Mission Statement

The IDA-Rocky Mountain Branch supports those living with Dyslexia, language and literacy challenges by providing research-based education and resource to individuals, families and educators.

Vision Statement

The IDA-Rocky Mountain Branch is recognized as the Premier authority in the Rocky Mountain Region for providing state-of-the-art expertise in the area of literacy so all individuals with Dyslexia, language and literacy challenges are afforded the opportunity to 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
