Publisher's Synopsis

Amanda T. Abbott-Jones provides practical and motivational guidance for dyslexic learners in higher education. It presents effective strategies appropriate for dealing with an array of study tasks including note taking, essay writing, reading, exams etc., while also delivering targeted emotional support. Pragmatic methods are delivered from the voices of students with dyslexia who have first-hand experience of fine-tuning study techniques, making learning suitable for how the dyslexic brain processes and memorises information to become successful in the academic world. As such, this book does not simply present strategies from an educational perspective, but instead draws on the wealth of empirical knowledge from the source of dyslexia - the dyslexic people themselves. This gives readers a collective shared identity, which has been previously lacking, teamed with valuable advice on ways to overcome cognitive and emotional difficulties by using appropriate strategies to enable people with dyslexia to flourish in the university environment.
