Dyslexia in Higher Education: Anxiety and Coping Skills

Autor Amanda T. Abbott-Jones
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2021
People can best help dyslexic students once they understand dyslexia's association with anxiety and effective coping strategies, both cognitively and emotionally. By highlighting the perspectives of dyslexic students, this book evidences the prevalence of anxiety in dyslexic communities. The shared experience from a range of dyslexic learners pinpoints best practice models and helps combat the isolation felt by many with learning difficulties. The author targets academic areas where students struggle, offering techniques to overcome these barriers. Such obstacles are not always due to cognitive factors but may be associated with negative experiences, leading to fear and uncertainty. Recounting these sticking points through student voices, rather than from a staff viewpoint, enables readers to find meaningful solutions to dyslexia-related problems. Through this dynamic methodology, the book shows researchers and practitioners how to understand dyslexic needs on an emotional level, while presenting dyslexic readers with practical coping methods.

Recenzii

'This book is a significant step forward in understanding the complex relationship between dyslexia, anxiety and coping in higher education. It moves beyond documenting the association to investigating effective and ineffective coping strategies. It does this through careful investigation of the lived experience of students with dyslexia, and use of theoretical frameworks of dyslexia and anxiety.' Julia Carroll, Professor at the Centre for Global Learning, Education and Attainment, Coventry University, UK
'This book is a welcome contribution to the literature highlighting the challenges dyslexic students face at university, both academic and emotional. It is empirically based, relying on both quantitative and qualitative evidence, providing a wealth of detail about the nature of the experience and suggestions as to how these difficulties might be mitigated through coaching, counselling and technological interventions.' David McLoughlin, Professor of Professional Practice in Psychology, University of Buckingham, UK
'This is a most useful book that explains the nature of dyslexia and provides practical guidance on how to support students with dyslexia in higher education.' Mark Taylor, Senior Lecturer in Information Systems, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
'This book fills an important gap in our understanding of dyslexia in adulthood, exploring the emotional consequences of dyslexia in adults from their own perspective. Linking to and extending theories of coping, it translates these voices into practical strategies for managing study which acknowledge not only the cognitive challenges but also the very tangible emotional responses.' Jane Hurry, University College London, UK
'Amanda T. Abbot-Jones' book will be extremely useful to anybody wanting to grasp the current state of play regarding dyslexia in higher education, including legislation, institutional provision disparities, available support and the ways in which dyslexic students struggle both cognitively and emotionally.' Nigel Rodenhurst, ADG FE/HE, Dyslexia Review
