Dyslexia : surviving and succeeding at college / Sylvia Moody.
"London-based Moody is a freelance writer and psychologist specializing in adult dyslexia. She presents a practical guide for students with dyslexia and dyspraxia, written in a dyslexia-friendly format, which also has useful information for subject tutors who want to learn about dyslexia, and for dyslexia tutors and co-coordinators. While written for college students in the UK and Ireland, much of the text is general enough to apply to students elsewhere. Coverage includes an overview of dyslexic and dyspraxic difficulties and how they affect different aspects of study, strategies for developing and improving study skills, and managing dyslexia after college. The text also includes checklists, advice on IT and other technology aids, a list of help organizations in the UK and Ireland, and suggestions for further reading." -- Provided by Publisher.
