September 2012

Q&amp;A with Daniel PinkDaniel Pink, best-selling author and a keynote speaker at our upcoming&nbsp;63rd Annual Conference&nbsp;in Baltimore, chatted with us by phone recently about his keynote, "A Whole New Mind," and about his very popular book of the same title.&nbsp;Our conversation ranged over a host of topics, particularly Pink's premise: The future belongs to those with a different kind of mind--"designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers--creative and empathic 'right-brained' thinkers." Pink says three forces--abundance, Asia, and automation--&nbsp;drive this shift away from the "narrowly reductive and deeply analytical" form of thinking that has dominated American society for a century. Here is a slice of our conversation. Pink answers seven questions; many are of special interest to those concerned with dyslexia.&nbsp;Read More.



Empower Youth Symposium to be Held in&nbsp;San DiegoOn October 6, 2012, the&nbsp;San Diego Branch of IDA&nbsp;will host their first-ever&nbsp;Empower Youth Symposium&nbsp;-&nbsp;A Day for Those Who Learn Differently,&nbsp;geared towards children and their parents, at the David &amp; Dorothea Garfield Theater in La Jolla.&nbsp;The goal of the event is to empower and inspire pre-teen and teen students with learning differences such as dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who struggle to succeed academically and emotionally.&nbsp;Read More.



Inaugural Parent Conference Registration is OpenIDA has set the standard for training professionals in the most up-to-date, research-based assessment, remediation, and research-to-practice tools in the world.&nbsp; In recent years, more and more parents have attended the annual IDA conference looking for ways to help their children with dyslexia. So&nbsp;we've&nbsp;decided to dedicate a day and a half to a child's biggest supporters and advocates, his or her parents. The Inaugural Parents Conference offers a mix of parent-only and parent/professional combined opportunities, including sessions, social events, and interactive gatherings.&nbsp;Read More.



Neuroscience Meets Twitter!How fitting that the IDA's first "conference tweet chat" is taking place at one of our most forward-thinking sessions, "Neuroscience in the 21st Century: Where are we going?."&nbsp;This symposium, chaired and organized by&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Gordon Sherman, convenes October 24 (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) at our&nbsp;63rd annual conference&nbsp;in Baltimore, MD.&nbsp;During the symposium (and before), we will monitor (but not project) a Twitter feed, from which we will pull questions for our distinguished panel of speakers. &nbsp;Read More.



Orton Oaks to Hold Reception in Baltimore for Longstanding IDA MembersIDA's foundation has been secured by its many dedicated members.&nbsp; Some of those members have been a part of the organization for as many as 61 years and others for 50 years or more.&nbsp;
