• "Open Line" - For professionals in the field and for people who call from abroad.
  
• "Information Center" - In the association's office there is a list of about 4000 professionals in the field. Everyone who is looking for help, can get a list of people in his / her living area. We do not recommend, we give the information and the responsibility for the appeal is on the person who looks for it.
  
• "Reading Room" - In the association's office there is a room that is open to every one who looks for material, without any need to pay. We have up- to-date articles and research concerning dyslexia and learning disabilities from all over the world, sorted by sub-subjects and easy to locate. Some of them are translated to Hebrew.

The association promotes the advancement of individuals with dyslexia and learning disabilities, by meeting people in the "Cnesset" (House of Parliament), in the government's offices, in the army, and so on.

Summary - The success of our association has been in promoting issues concerning dyslexia through the hard work of our volunteers. These efforts are supported by contributions and membership fees.
