Book description
Dyslexia is a common diagnosable condition that is estimated to
affect at least one child in ten. In its most usual form it is
manifested as a difficulty in learning to read and write, but it is
widely misunderstood and often mistaken for low intelligence or even
laziness.
Dr Beve Hornsby combines her experience as a psychologist, teacher
and speech therapist in this informative and reassuring book for
parents and teachers of children suffering from a disability no-one
can see or understand, and offers advice on how to identify, tackle
and eventually overcome dyslexia. Includes up-to-date information on
Attention Deficit Disorder and the relevance of the latest Education Act.
Professor Beve Hornsby was one of the great pioneers of the Dyslexia
movement. A Chartered Psychologist and Speech Therapist, she was
formerly Head of the Dyslexia Clinic at St Bartholemew's Hospital and
Principal of the Hornsby International Dyslexia Centre in London.
