The Ten Best Things to Happen to the Dyslexia Community in 2014\"10<\/b><\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0 The Decoding Dyslexia movement grew to 49 states and a Canadian province. DD was number one my list in 2013 and they remain there because they continue to be the driving force behind public awareness and local dyslexia activism. They have accomplished more in three years than any other organization.\u00a0 Find them here:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.decodingdyslexia.net\/.<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Learning Ally hosted their first annual virtual Spotlight on Dyslexia conference. Not only was the list of presenters impressive, the technology they used made the day a smash hit. They made information accessible to anyone who wanted it \u2013 that is a major achievement. We hope they are already planning their second annual conference.\u00a0 Find them here:\u00a0 www.learningally.org<\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 The International Reading Association (soon to be the International Literacy Association) not only published four articles about dyslexia, but they accepted workshop proposals from DTI and Learning Ally for their 2015 conference in St. Louis, MO. For an organization that is historically quiet on the topic of dyslexia, this is giant step forward for them and the students their members serve. We aren\u2019t preaching to the choir anymore!<\/p>\n
