The user-friendly text highlights the importance of schools reviewing their curricula and assessment, pedagogical methods, resources, organisation and therapy procedures to ensure that their provision helps encourage academic progress and the best personal and social development for their pupils.

This book accessibly and authoritatively addresses a range of issues associated with:

Reading disorders / dyslexia

Disorder of written expression/ dysgraphia

Developmental co-ordination disorder/ dyspraxia

Mathematics disorder/ dyscalculia.

Underpinned by research and widely held professional opinions, this second edition of The Effective Teacher's Guide to Dyslexia and other Learning Difficulties (Learning Disabilities) will prove a practical, readable and invaluable resource for the busy teacher, students on initial teacher training courses, school managers and administrators.
