Dyslexia and Employment
Moody, S.,

What it Says on the Back of the Book "This is a comprehensive, invaluable and extremely readable book giving in-depth information and guidance on a wide range of issues affecting professionals who work with dyslexic employees. For me, it is a rare find: the authors do not shy away from the most controversial issues; indeed they confront them head-on, revealing their (and our) dilemmas. They share their internal debates and in doing so both reassure us and give practical advice born out of real experience. This excellent book is a must for workplace consultants and indeed anyone working with dyslexic people. I strongly recommend it." Jenny Lee, National Adult Dyslexia Coordinator, Dyslexia Action "This book is a must-read for anyone who manages someone with dyslexia. It should be required reading for all management classes."
