    1. Support the vision and mission of the INW Dyslexia Alliance.

    2. Encourage one another in a positive, safe, collaborative space, aimed at building confidence in understanding and addressing dyslexia.

    3. Share information and resources related to dyslexia.

    4. Advocate for dyslexia awareness in the region.

  • We currently offer workshops tailored for:

    • Caregivers: Expand your knowledge of dyslexia to better support your child in achieving success in and beyond the classroom.

    • K-12 Educators: Join a collaborative network of professionals dedicated to supporting students with dyslexia in our region.

    • SLPs (Speech-Language Pathologists): Connect with a professional community supporting clients with dyslexia across school, medical, and private practice settings.

    Please note the intended audience for each workshop to ensure it meets your needs!

  • Of course! While we intend for the meetings to be full of valuable insights and networking opportunities, we understand that not everyone can attend. Our leadership team will send email updates summarizing each meeting to everyone on our Champions for Dyslexia list so you can stay informed and participate when you’re able!

  • No, each group will have its own leadership team, agenda, and meetings yet follow the same objectives listed above.

    While there may be occasions when all groups get together, the majority of our gatherings will remain distinct and separate.

  • We will indicate when Educator clock hours are available for our workshops.

  • We will indicate when ASHA CEUs are available for our workshops geared towards professional SLPs.
