Regional Groups

The Pittsburgh Regional Group provides resources for people with dyslexia, their families, teachers, and other professionals in western Pennsylvania.

We work to expand awareness of dyslexia in schools and in the community, and we are advocates and supporters of stronger connections and collaborations among individuals and groups supporting people with dyslexia.

We hold several events and programs each year, including a simulation of the experience of dyslexia and seminars for families and teachers.

On November 14 and 15, 2008 we are pleased to be a co-sponsor of the third annual conference "Transitioning to Life." Our other sponsors are the ARC of Westmoreland County, Total Learning Centers, Intermediate Unit 7, and accessABILITIES.

"Transitioning to Life" focuses on assisting individuals with learning or health disabilities become independent adults. Participants will learn, firsthand, how technology may assist them in school, the workplace, and within their communities.

For additional information please contact our group at pgh@pbida.org or (412) 761-0898.

We warmly welcome any interested persons in the region to join us and to become involved in our work. Our next meeting will be August 5, 2008.
