Today the Southwest Branch of The International Dyslexia Association serves New Mexico and West Texas, and has almost 300 members. Close to 1000 people attend our two-day conferences. We are able to provide at least two multisensory workshops each year for teachers and parents of dyslexic students. And our newsletter, now called NEWSwida, has grown from a one-page mimeographed sheet to a 20+ page magazine. The latest editions are also available by e-mail as e-NEWSwida.
