Dyslexia How Would I Cope? (3rd Ed.)
Ryden, M.

What it says on the back of the book 'A book to be commended to everyone. There are very few books written for ordinary members of the public on Dyslexia, but this one gives a very clear insight into the difficulties and frustrations experienced by those suffering from this disability.' - Disability news 'Written from personal experience, this book clearly describes and illustrates how written communication can appear to a dyslexic person. The reader gains an increased awareness of the problems and understanding of how difficulties can be minimised. This book reinforces positive attitudes, and will be of interest to parents, teachers and employers.' - Disabled Living Foundation '...well-written and beautifully printed. The style is direct and informative and could help not only parents and teachers but young people struggling to understand why theyb are encountering problems with reading, writing and spelling ... This is a useful text for anyone who wishes to learn more about this pervasive and important problem.' - Rehab Network Now in its third edition, this accessible book describes and illustrates graphically how written communication can appear to a dyslexic, and how a dyslexic's efforts to communicate in this way can appear to others. Suggestions and hints are given on how best to use the dyslexic's abilities to by-pass inabilities, and enable him or her to live a normal life in society. Michael V. Ryden was diagnosed as dyslexic in 1969, and then examined by an educational psychologist who reported an IQ rating of well above average. He could not gain entrance to university in the United Kingdom because of his English grades, but was fortunate enough to go to a university in the United States of America where he obtained a B.Sc in Photography and Graphics, graduating with honours. He is now a developer in Colorado, and also gives lectures on dyslexia.
