The 2024 DDIA Educator Conference is an in-person event only.  Sessions will not be live streamed or recorded.  For those looking for a virtual experience, consider the virtual option offered by the International Dyslexia Association.

We are unable to accommodate requests for single day pricing. You may register for the conference and attend only one day, however the full registration fee applies. If you only plan to attend one day, please send us a message using the form below and let us know your plans. Educators who attend one day are not eligible for license renewal credit.

The Decoding Dyslexia Iowa Educator Conference is geared towards educators, AEA professionals, and school administrators who are working in Iowa schools.  Topics and speakers will be directed to that audience. However parents, homeschoolers, tutors, school board members, legislators and any other community members interested in the conference sessions are welcome to attend.  If you are not an educator, please review the schedule and sessions to make the event will meet your expectations.

Our educator conference is designed for those whose knowledge of dyslexia and the science of reading is beginner to intermediate. If you have never attended a dyslexia training before, or if you have some training and would like to deepen your knowledge, this event is for you. If you hold an advanced degree or endorsement in dyslexia or the science of reading, you may find the conference content to be a review.  Please view the session descriptions to be sure the event will meet your needs and expectations.

Iowa educators who attend the full two-day conference can earn one license renewal credit through Heartland AEA.  More information about license renewal credit can be found here.
