Recenzii

'This book is written on a personal level and entices the student to enter a world that scares even the non-dyslexic. This toolkit is the student's safety net offering user friendly, down to earth advice and real life skills that have been tried and tested by the author'
-Dr John Schneider, Educational Psychologist

'This is exactly how I felt starting university ... a wonderful and very helpful book full of interesting and useful hints and tips on how to survive university as a dyslexic student. It doesn't make you feel silly or stupid but makes you feel you can achieve what you set out to do'
-Sharon Patterson, Adult Nursing student, Edinburgh Napier University


'You realize you're in the hands of a professional who has taught thousands of students how to succeed at university'

-Holly Pellicer, Dyslexia Advisor, University of Oslo



'Started delving into your book - looks very interesting and helpful to a layperson like myself'
-Aileen Maclean, Student Support Tutor, Lecturer and Program Leader, BSc Business Information Systems, Napier University


From the moment I started to read this book it quickly became a resource I used with the university students I support. I would highly recommend this book, as an extremely useful toolkit packed with practical advice, tips and hints to help the dyslexic learner at university.
The key strengths of this text are in providing a multitude of learning strategies for dyslexia. The text makes sure to inform the reader that dyslexia does not have a universal learning strategy, but that each student requires a learning strategy that is unique to them and their form of dyslexia... The learning strategies addressed in the text range from assisting dyslexic students who suffer from organization issues, text book reading issues, time management, and even note taking in class.
