Welcome to NOBIDA.

We are happy you have found us.

Our IDA branch is a community and a network, not a physical location. We work together to provide educators, families, and individuals living with dyslexia resources for hope, education, and advocacy.

Dyslexia is a language-based learning difference that causes difficulty with reading and other literacy skills. It is a neurobiological condition, not a problem of intelligence, visual issues, or laziness.

What is Dyslexia?

The Northern Ohio Branch of the International Dyslexia Association:

Educates about dyslexia and appropriate instruction
Advocates for early identification of dyslexia and educational opportunities
Supports our community with professional development and resources

We invite you to learn about the Structured Literacy Approach to teaching reading and writing.

What is Structured Literacy and
How Does it Help with Dyslexia?

Join us and continue learning with NOBIDA.

Until Everyone Can Read.
