Specific Learning Difficulties

Work with dyslexics is increasingly seen as a multidisciplinary concern, covering educational, psychological and medical questions. The authors reflect this new emphasis on collaboration. The book contains information on the policies and practices of Local Education Authorities and Examination Boards and they look at the views of statutory bodies, voluntary organisations and parents. Drawing on the work of eleven experienced educational psychologists, it presents and evaluates a wide variety of approaches to prevention, identification and intervention and makes practical recommendations for future progress. This book should be of interest to special needs co-ordinators and LEA advisors.
