WHAT IS FEAST AND FORUM?

Feast & Forum is a series of programs offered in each region for teachers and parents. Topics are selected to satisfy a participant's hunger for information related to dyslexia and to serve as a forum to disburse new research and policies.

Feast & Forum was initiated by the Education Committee in 1999 and is a strong part of VBIDA's outreach program.

Some of the previous topics were: Research on Reading: What We Know and Where We're Headed, The Standards of Learning and Students with Learning Disabilities, How Dyslexia Affects a Child's Emotional Functioning and Preparing for College When You Have LD.

The Feast & Forum programs are open to members and non-members. Registration fees are kept at a minimum. If you are not presently receiving information about the Feast and Forum programs please contact your region's Vice-President.

We look forward to another exciting year of programs and extend an invitation to you to join us.
