Aims to promote awareness of Specific Learning Disability (SLD/Dyslexia) and to serve the needs of people with this difficulty.  The DAI provides a free information service to the public as well as other services. Local branches act as parent support groups, provide information and run out-of-school facilities (workshops) for children.  Membership of the Association is open to anyone concerned with promoting the treatment and prevention of the problems of SLD/Dyslexia.
