Includes CD-Rom `This is a wonderful book …well organised, accessible and jargon free. Particularly useful is the link to mainstream subject teaching. Without having to read the whole book, busy teachers and teaching assistants can dip in and out of the text in order to find appropriate strategies. This text should be on the shelf of every secondary school library and cited as suggested reading in training courses' - Dr Lindsay Peer CBE, Educational Psychologist and Former Education Director, British Dyslexia Association Offering the reader lots of practical advice and guidance on how dyslexia affects the learning of older children and young adults, this book shows the reader how to provide effective support for dyslexic students.

Professional development for teachers and pre-service training will be looked at, alongside issues linked to the Disability Discrimination Act, Inclusion and other legislation.
