Most books on dyslexia are aimed at teachers or other education professionals, with a chapter or two at most addressed to parents. This one is written specially for parents, and dedicated to enhancing their role in supporting their children. It opens with a description of dyslexia and the often-complex identification and assessment processes used by schools and education authorities. Three chapters then describe the different agencies that can support dyslexia: school, community and government, with case studies from the UK and elsewhere. Also included are first hand accounts from parents and children, a section on how children learn, moving on from school, and a range of useful resources.
