Dyslexia Decoded

If I can’t learn the way you teach, please teach me the way I can learn It is only when you read about real-life stories you want to believe that strategies work. The method suggested in Dyslexia Decoded have been tried and tested for more than two decades with different levels of difficulties, different students and a variety of situations. Processing information and using proper sound system results in learning differently, while styles of learning when incorporated in teaching, makes mild learning difficulties disappear. Emotional, social impacts of learning difficulties cannot be ignored as they cause greater harm than the difficulty itself. This book shows you just that and emphasizes the need to counsel students, teachers, parents and schools. Schools form a major part of children’s lives and when they take on the task of supporting the 10% of their population with specific learning difficulties they go beyond their own limitations and contribute a great deal to the lives of all children. A special school system is detrimental for children with specific learning difficulties even though it may seem to be the answer for other special needs. This book encourages schools to include students with specific learning difficulties, while guiding them to use the support which the Boards willingly give.

"This book is for students and individuals with dyslexia and also for those working with them as tutors and in the workplace. It cuts new ground in our understanding of dyslexia. It debunks myths; shows that the learning condition does not have to be a life sentence, discusses assessment; explains decoding, and writing and spelling strategies; and looks at workplace modification to accommodate the needs of dyslexic people. It seeks to encourage empathy and understanding of the needs of adults with dyslexia and shows how they can achieve success in today' competitive world"--Publisher information.

Based on a 5-year research project on the shared 'active ingredients' of 14 successful methods for helping children with dyslexia, this book outlines three major theories on dyslexia before describing 14 different programmes. It describes the research method adopted to study these methods with the resulting 'common denominators' found in practice.

Step into the extraordinary world of "BioDyslexia," where the pages come alive with hope, knowledge, and the power to transform lives. Dyslexia may be a formidable foe, but armed with the right tools and a sprinkle of innovation, we can rewrite the narrative and unlock the true potential of dyslexic individuals. In this literary adventure, we embark on a quest to unravel the mysteries of dyslexia, peering into its intricate causes and elusive symptoms. "BioDyslexia" is your compass, guiding you through the labyrinth of understanding, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. We shed light on the profound impact that timely support can have on the learning journey of dyslexic individuals, as they navigate the maze of academia.

This book covers research on biopsychological aspects of dyslexia reflects on psycholinguistic aspects of dyslexia offers reflections on dyslexia treatment research in general. It points out that in some dyslexics it is not sufficient to treat word identification difficulties alone.

The SAGE Handbook of Dyslexia is a comprehensive overview of a complex field. It is a rich, critical assessment of past and present theory and current research, which also looks to the future. The editors have brought together key figures from the international academic world - both researchers and practitioners - to examine the relationships between theoretical paradigms, research and practice, and to map new areas of research. The book has 5 main sections: - neurological/genetic perspectives - cognitive and learning perspectives - educational influences - beyond school - international perspectives.

Dyslexia is often presented as a clearly delineated condition that can be diagnosed on the basis of appropriate cognitive tests with corresponding forms on intervention. However, this approachable text explores the issues behind this assertion in bringing together leading figures in the field to debate dyslexia. Julian Elliott shows that understandings and usage of the dyslexia label vary substantially with little consensus or agreement and in putting forward his critique draws upon research in several disciplinary fields to demonstrate the irrationality of these arguments. Roderick I. Nicolson demonstrates that current approaches to understanding, identification and support of dyslexia are catastrophically flawed in terms of their failure to consider the developmental nature of dyslexia. He develops two themes: first that the underlying cause of dyslexia is 'delayed neural commitment' for skills and neural circuits, and second that the cause of the reading disability is the introduction of formal instruction before the dyslexic child's neural circuits for executive function are sufficiently developed. He argues that a more effective and cost-effective approach to identification and support involves 'assessment for dyslexia' rather than 'of dyslexia'. Elliott and Nicolson respond to the points each other raise before Andrew Davis investigates how far the key claims of Elliott and Nicolson can withstand close conceptual investigation, and explores the inherent limitations of scientific research on this topic, given the value and conceptual issues concerned.
