2022 IDA-GA Teen Board
We held our first IDA-GA Teen Talk on August 18, 2022. Learning how to stay organized, plan ahead, participate in group projects, and take tests can be daunting for any student, and it is especially important if you have learning challenges. The IDA Georgia Teen Board members will discuss how they have successfully navigated these waters throughout their school journeys. IDA-GA Teen Board Members: Peyton, Kahmara, Jolie, Isadora, Jaclyn, Nathan IDA Georgia Teen Board Mission: The IDA Georgia Teen Board is in its inaugural year, and its purpose is to connect with Georgia students who have dyslexia and provide support and assistance to them during their school years.
