Founded in 1972, the Dyslexia Association of Ireland (DAI) aims to promote the understanding, treatment and prevention of the problems which can be associated with dyslexia, a specific learning disability. The association lobbies for appropriate services for people with dyslexia, and also acts as a service provider, offering assessment, specialist tuition, and training. The association also aims to increase the public awareness and understanding of dyslexia.

DAI currently has a nationwide network of 34 Branches and Workshops offering local community based services.
DAI is a founder member of the European Dyslexia Association which now has over twenty-five member countries.

DAI is a member of the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) and a Global Partner of the International Dyslexia Association.

The Dyslexia Association of Ireland aims to educate people in Ireland about dyslexia, and offer appropriate assessment and effective support services for children and adults dealing with dyslexia.
Our vision is a dyslexia friendly society where all people with dyslexia are enabled to fulfill their potential, where every child and adult with dyslexia has access to appropriate identification and support to achieve their full potential in education, training, employment and all aspects of life.
