Good book for anyone who has Dyslexia. I found it extremely helpful as I am preparing to make the huge step from High School to College. I intend to reference it often when I need to important information.

I am, at the moment, looking at colleges and this book is helping me ask the right questions, especially about how the college will be willing to help me as someone with Dyslexia. It also has tips and tricks on how to make it through college with Dyslexia.

This book is good for people with Dyslexia in both the US and the UK.
