The IDA membership consists of a variety of professionals in partnership with dyslexics and their families and others interested in reading and literacy.We believe that all individuals have the right to achieve their potential, that individual learning abilities can be strengthened and that social, educational and cultural barriers to language acquisition and use must be removed.PBIDA promotes effective teaching approaches and related clinical educational intervention strategies for dyslexics. We support and encourage interdisciplinary research. We facilitate the exploration of the causes and early identification of dyslexia and are committed to the responsible and wide dissemination of research based knowledge.One of 46 IDA branches worldwide, we have been serving Pennsylvania and Delaware since 1979. The Pennsylvania Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (PBIDA) is one of 46 branches of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), the national parent organization. We are dedicated to providing help and services to families and educators across Pennsylvania and the country about dyslexia and other language-based disabilities. We gather a collection of research-based educational tools and resources to help educators and parents navigate and develop a better understanding of dyslexia, and other language and literacy challenges. For over 39 years we have hosted the premier Dyslexia and Literacy conferences in our state. We hold our conferences in both eastern and western PA. Educators, psychologists, pediatricians, parents and family members come from across PA and surrounding states to learn from top experts on the newest research and interventions to improve teaching for students with language and related disabilities. Our conferences reach over 1,000 attendees a year and we provide about 20% of the education students who attend with full or partial scholarships. We have been offering our simulation, Experience Dyslexia * A Simulation for over 20 years. We provide the program to schools and colleges as an in-service for education professionals. We also provide it to parents and family members, and community organizations as a community service program. The simulation begins with a brief discussion of dyslexia, including its neurological basis, the demographics, and the warning signs. We also discuss the interventions, proven through solid research, to have the most positive impact. Participants take part in six simulations which mimic the experiences and processes both educationally and emotionally of those with dyslexia. As an in-service program, we reach approximately 2,000 educators and administrators a year. As a community service program, we reach approximately 1,000 parents, family members and groups a year. Our Help Desk takes calls from parents, educators, psychologists, pediatricians and service providers asking for help understanding dyslexia and other related disabilities. Our volunteers offer advice on how to navigate and understand the difficulties around neurologically based processing problems. Children and adults with dyslexia face, not only the challenge of learning how to read, but many also have difficulties with writing, and/or math, spelling and organizing their thoughts and their time. We take approximately 100 help desk requests a month. We provide links to organizations and articles, and fact sheets that can be downloaded from our website and recommendations on tutors and testing specialists. We also provide workshops and a speaker series for educators, psychologists and families. This is part of our ongoing work to keep teachers and administrators as well as parents well informed with up to date research and recommendations. They range from a one day to one-week training workshops, to a half or full day speaker presentation. We bring in experts from around the country to share their newly released screeners, books, and/or up to date research findings. We also use our own expert Board members, and volunteers to speak at schools and community centers about dyslexia and related disabilities and to answer questions. We reach about 150 or more educators and family members a year through these workshops. 48651 48651 Christine Craig Seppi Director 5.00 0 DR KATHLEEN R BIDDLE Director 1.00 0 Maria Toglia Director 2.50 0 Regina Willis Anderson Director 0 0 JESSICA L MCKEE President 1.00 0 Dr Joseph Norcera Director 2.00 0 Georgette Helbling Director 1.00 0 Dr Mindy Bramer Director 1.00 0 Rick Sabousky Vice President 1.00 0 Dr Tracy Johnson-Rockmore Director 1.00 0 Olabimpe Abayomi-Ige Director 1.00 0 Maria Paluselli Secretary 1.00 0 Ann Darrow Director 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Management 116 Gay Street P O Box 562 Phoenixville PA 19460 6105271548 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 13534 7028 9206 6532 6560 42860 100739 65387 89751 61110 44866 361853 0 0 0 114273 72415 98957 67642 51426 404713 0 0 404713 200 43 1 148 500 892 0 200 43 1 148 500 892 0 0 114473 72458 98958 67790 51926 405605 0.99780 0.99890 0.00220 0.00110 X Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $187 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $1417 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $48651 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $1791 Other Expenses.1 MY Higher Education Summit $7000 Other Expenses.2 memberships $3717 Other Expenses.3 Rent $2740 Other Expenses.4 online fees $1072 Other Expenses.5 computers $911 Other Expenses.6 Payroll fees $695 Other Expenses.7 Miscellaneous $500 Other Expenses.8 SUPPLIES $176 Other Expenses.9 Board expenses $54 Other Assets.1005 Accounts Receivable - Beginning $12108 Accounts Receivable - Ending $12200 Other Assets.1011 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Beginning $4600 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Ending $4600 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $4327 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $2484
