Join IMSE for an engaging discussion with two of the nation’s leading experts in literacy and language development — Dr. Hugh Catts and Dr. Charles Haynes — as they unpack the updated International Dyslexia Association (IDA) definition of dyslexia and what it means for educators, clinicians, and families.
You’ll explore:
  • The key updates to the definition and the science behind them
  • What these changes mean for early identification, intervention, and instruction
  • Common misconceptions about dyslexia
  • Practical insights for educators and administrators using structured literacy
Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of how the new definition reflects decades of research and how it can help schools and communities better support every learner.
