Overcoming Dyslexia in Children, Adolescents, and Adults

An excellent book. One of the best I have read on the subject. Very well written, easy to understand. Good suggestions for parents and teachers. Every teacher should read this book! Every parent should read this book! Every school trustee should read this book! It should be a book studied in a compulsory course at teachers college since we get unidentified learning disabled students in our classes and we are really not prepared. Dyslexia is an invisible handicap and unfortunately few teachers are qualified to recognise this LD. Your site is very useful because I am the founder and the president of a non profit association for french parents of children with dyslexia and I am always looking for information on dyslexia (high school teacher since 1974) Our daughter has dyslexia. She was tested by 8 different specialists and none mentioned dyslexia. They all said she was gifted, she would grow out of it, she was lazy... this ruined her self-esteeme. Was finally diagnosed at 13. Did multi-sensory method with her. Now she is doing great.
