2024 IDA-GA Dimensions of Dyslexia Annual Conference


IDA GEORGIA’s 2024 DIMENSIONS OF DYSLEXIA CONFERENCE: THE KEYS TO STRUCTURED LITERACY was an in-person conference to be held in Milledgeville, GA on the Georgia College & State University campus on Saturday, November 16. In 2024, we also hosted a Friday night welcome dinner for speakers, board members, award winners, and sponsors. The full-day conference was an opportunity for educators, administrators, parents, advocates, psychologists, and others to connect and increase their understanding of dyslexia and related language-based learning issues and how best to address the needs of an individual with dyslexia through evidence-based, structured literacy practices.

SPEAKERS: Keynotes Tiffany Hogan, Ph.D. and Tracy White Weeden, Ed.D.  https://ga.dyslexiaida.org/2024-keynote-speakers/, in addition to the amazing breakout session speakers.
