Did you know that an estimated 15-20% of the population have symptoms of dyslexia? People with dyslexia are intelligent, yet often have great difficulty reading, writing, remembering, organizing or expressing their thoughts clearly. Imagine going to school, working, grocery shopping, or even “talking story” with friends without those skills -- dyslexia can affect virtually every aspect of everyday life.
For over 30 years, HIDA has been working to address the issue of struggling readers in Hawaiʻi by providing:
-
Educational outreach workshops to families, schools, community groups
-
Public awareness to promote early recognition and intervention
-
Personal support and information to connect with resources
-
Local publications on dyslexia and strategies to assist struggling readers
E Hele Mai! Come join us at a benefit for HIDA - the Hawaiʻi Branch of the International Dyslexia Association. Your support will help families, teachers and other professionals in our community connect with resources and learn strategies to help struggling readers.

About the organizer
Thank you for your interest in HIDA - the Hawai‘i Branch of the International Dyslexia Association. Hawaiian petroglyphs – ancient carvings of human spirits, symbols in lava rock – can be found throughout the islands of Hawai‘i. Anthropologists believe that petroglyphs were used by Hawaiians as a form of written communication before missionaries introduced a formal written language. Like anthropologists who are making headway in uncovering the meanings of petroglyphs, dyslexic individuals can learn to interpret and process language with appropriate instruction and support. We appreciate your interest in learning more about dyslexia and the resources and strategies available to create a richer, more robust future for Hawai‘i’s children and adults who struggle with dyslexia and other related reading difficulties.
