Tutor Referrals
As a local branch of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), WABIDA is committed to ensuring families are able to connect with referrals and resources that have been identified in knowledge and training as falling within the evidence-based best practices of multi-sensory literacy instruction. It is recommended that any family in search of a tutor understand how to evaluate an educational professional and personally ensure it is the best fit for them.
For guidance in choosing educational professionals, the following IDA Fact Sheets may also be useful:
• A Parent’s Guide to Effective Instruction
•Evaluating Educational Professionals
•Helpful Terminology
•When Educational Promises Are Too Good to Be True
