National IDA

There is a wealth of information on the IDA National website: http://www.interdys.org

Of particular interest on the national site is the downloadable Matrix of Multisensory Structured Language Programs that have a strong track records of clinical and classroom success. These programs differ in specific techniques and materials, but they all include structured, explicit, systematic, cumulative instruction designed to promote understanding, memory, recall, and use of spoken and written language. They also have multiple components, that focus on such areas of instruction as phonological skills, phonics and word analysis, spelling, word recognition and oral reading fluency, grammar and syntax, text comprehension, writing, and study skills.

There is also a wealth of information in the downloadable Fact Sheets which have information by leading researchers in the field on a variety of topics related to dyslexia.
