A good book for those in the diagnosis stages, lots of advice on school systems, employment and disability law. Lacking in practical suggestions for help at home in my opinion.

It’s a good book that covers a lot of different aspects such as advocacy and alternate learning styles. It’s written for the general population so I skimmed over the normal terms associated with therapy. Chapters range from Identification, parental support, and legislation in several countries. The last chapter has sources for literacy games, programs, computer programs and organizations complete with addresses and websites.

Lots of information, but I felt overwhelmed and depressed by the end. Maybe as I read other dylsexia books I'll understand and change my opinion on this one.
