Book description
Although dyslexia affects 10 to 15 percent of the U. S. population,
only 5 out of every 100 dyslexics are recognized and receive assistance.
If you're the parent of a child with dyslexia, this statistic can be
disconcerting, especially when it comes to your child's academic
performance and developing social skills.

you a complete understanding of what dyslexia is, how to identify the
signs, and what you can do to help your child.

- Select the right treatment programs for your child
- Secure an IEP
- Choose a school and reduce homework struggles
- Develop your child's skills with the use of assistive technology
- Maintain open communication and offer support
