This is a brilliant book which I have added to the reading list for trainee teachers. There are an ever-increasing number of neuro-diverse students attending college and teachers need to be able to identify neuro-diversity, even if it is not disclosed, and put strategies in place.
This book is really useful for dyslexic students to look at a range of strategies to help them progress further in their learning.

I bought this book partly to understand how I can support my students better and to recommend to students who "dont think they can" just because they have dyslexia, we all know that isnt true. Simple, straightforward and easy to understand. Another excellent book in this series.
