Brazilian Dyslexia Association (IDA Supporting Global Partner) – Dyslexia & Learning Difficulty Associations and Organization

The Brasilian Dyslexia Association (ABD) was founded in 1983. ABD has a multidisciplinary team consisting of a speech pathologist, psychologist, special educators, neurologist and a group of volunteers. We evaluate people for dyslexia and see approximately 40 people each month. ABD does not treat dyslexics. After diagnosis, the individual is referred to a speech pathologist, special educator, psychologist, or even a physician. To date, we have diagnosed over 1,500 people as having dyslexia.
