About OVBIDA
The Ohio Valley Branch of The International Dyslexia Association (formerly The Orton Dyslexia Society) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, 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 in the Southern Ohio, Southeast Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia areas.
We have been serving individuals with dyslexia, their families, and professionals in the field in this community for nearly 50 years. There are two other Branches of IDA in Ohio–Northern Ohio and Central Ohio.
A group in the Dayton area can be contacted here.
