New Dyslexia Resources in Spanish & English
We are excited to share our new low literacy English and Spanish infographics and animations about dyslexia. With a generous grant from the Richard B. Siegel Foundation and input from our local Latino community, we have created a library of easy to understand information in multiple formats to help parents learn more about dyslexia. These new resources are for providers, counselors, teachers, tutors, and specialists to share with parents. Help us get the word out!
From all of us at IDA-Oregon,
THANK YOU for all you do!
