Synopsis
Work with dyslexics is increasingly seen as a multidisciplinary concern, covering educational, psychological and medical questions. This valuable reference book reflects this new emphasis on collaboration. It contains information on the policies and practices of Local Education Authorities and Examination Boards and looks at the views of statutory bodies, voluntary organisations and parents. Drawing on the work of eleven experienced educational psychologists, it presents and evaluates a wide variety of approaches to prevention, identification and intervention and makes practical recommendations for future progress.

Review
"As a teacher of the learning disabled, as well as an instructor of teachers of dyslexic students, I find "Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia) very helpful. It contains a wealth of material on current practices and causes one to consider the overriding reasons for the practices...the authors have presented an excellent book, worth the challenge, for anyone who deals in any way eith people with dyslexia."
