How To Detect and Manage Dyslexia
Ott. P.

What it says on the back of the book How to Detect and Manage Dyslexia is an essential reference book for Special Educational Needs co-ordinators, specialist and non-specialist teachers, parents and all others involved in helping students to overcome dyslexia. Philomena Ott has taught people with Dyslexia for over twenty-five years and is one of the most knowledgeable and highly regarded practitioners in the field. In How to Detect and Manage Dyslexia she combines her extensive experience, knowledge of best practice and up-to-date research to answer the questions most frequently asked by all concerned such as: What are the early warning signs of dyslexia? How can we identify and overcome reading, writing and spelling difficulties? What are the implications of the Special Needs Code of Practice? What provisions do Examination Boards make for students with dyslexia? How can information technology help the dyslexic learner? What advice can be given to adults and their employers? "I know of no other book which aims at being a Resource Manual of this kind in the area of dyslexia ... Is it too far-fetched to draw a comparison with Dr Spock?"
