Description

Finding Your Voice with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is an essential guide to living with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties (SpLDs). The book provides readers with a practical guide to expressing and developing ideas and feelings. Uniquely designed for dyslexic/ SpLD readers, this book discusses how individual people function and will help readers to: •understand how they think •know what they can do to maintain clear thinking •know how they can positively contribute to any situation in which they find themselves. When people with SpLD find their voice, they gain the self-esteem and confidence to tackle all elements of life (study, employment, general living) and to negotiate sucessfully with those around them. The book contains stories, insights, examples, tips and exercises, presented in a user-friendly way throughout. The book has also been designed for non-linear reading and each chapter includes a 'dipping-in' section to guide the reader. The book does not have to be read as solid, continuous text from start to finish: it can be read more like a travel guide. As well as providing vital assistance to people with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties, this book will benefit anyone supporting, living or working with dyslexic/ SpLD people by helping them to understand more about the dyslexic/ SpLD world.
