ABSTRACT

Presenting case studies and interviews with all those concerned, combined with an up-to-date account of current thinking, this book provides an accessible and realistic account of dyslexia. Through listening to children, their parents and teachers we can learn more about dyslexia, and how to cope with it more effectively.
Living With Dyslexia reports on a wide variety of issues including how children become to be identified as dyslexic, the kinds of social and emotional difficulties encountered by both themselves and their families, and how they fared within the educational system.
