Tutor and Diagnostician Referral Service
The Ontario Branch is often asked for the names of tutors and diagnosticians who are knowledgeable about dyslexia and multisensory systematic language instruction. The IDA referral service provides the names of IDA members who offer professional services such as tutoring, testing and diagnosis. While the Branch provides a list of professionals, it does not endorse any specific tutor or programme, nor is it involved in the arrangements between the service provider and client. Please contact us for more information.
