Referral Directory and Distance Learning Resources


Referral Directory


Sometimes as parents it can feel as if we are stuck in a maze searching for professionals with knowledge and experience in dealing with dyslexia or even knowing where to start the search.  Many of the organizations listed below have a list of criteria that providers must meet in order to be listed in their referral directory.  The organizations listed below are not all inclusive, but a good starting point.  Another good strategy is to ask for referrals from other parents or professionals.


The International Dyslexia Association’s Provider Directories have a wide range of professionals knowledgeable and experienced in advocating, evaluating, and teaching those with dyslexia.

If you need information regarding a local tutor, testing, evaluation, parent advocate or other types of service provider please contact IDA Northern Ohio at:

Tutors and Teachers

Please note that the International Dyslexia Association has published the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading, a comprehensive document supported by research which details the knowledge and skills teachers need to teach reading effectively.  These Standards have now shifted the focus away from specific reading programs and curriculum to teacher preparation that aligns with these standards.
