The International Federation of Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Associations (IFDDA) is an independent umbrella that has connected non-profit organizations across the globe since 2011, so the people who do this work are never doing it alone.
Who we are
The International Federation of Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Associations (IFDDA) is an umbrella organization of independent, non-profit dyslexia and dyscalculia associations. We bring these organizations together so they can share knowledge, support one another, and reach more of the people who need them, with free information and practical teaching aids at the heart of everything we do.
We link dyslexia and dyscalculia associations across countries into one supportive, international community.
Members exchange knowledge, methods, and experience, so good ideas travel far beyond one country.
Together our members are more visible and better heard, raising awareness of dyslexia and dyscalculia worldwide.
We champion free information and teaching aids for dyslexic and dyscalculic people, their families, and educators.
