Increasing numbers of dyslexic children are now attending colleges and universities, and yet tutors still tend to have very little specific training to help them deal with the needs of these students. This can cause problems for both student and teacher. Through their wide experience of working with students of dyslexia, Tim Miles and Dorothy Gilroy are able to offer useful and practical advice to students about how to get the most from their college experience and the kinds of support which are available. The book aims to provide teachers with the information they need in order to meet the needs of those students more effectively. In this edition of their text, the authors have up-dated and expanded the original material. The book now takes account of the many advances and discoveries which have been made in the knowledge about dyslexia today. It also takes account of changes which have taken place within colleges and universities such as changes of the demands on students, the increased support which is now available, and the use of new technology.

Editorial Reviews
Review
In this excellent little book is a wealth of practical advice, clearly presented . . . Throughout the book, the advice is sensible, practical and helpful. It is written with great understanding and gentle humor . . . The book wisely offers advice to teachers and advisers as well as students. I hope it finds a place on their bookshelves.

Great Reference Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dyslexia at College (Paperback)
OK, the book is out of date, but there is a lot of helpful information. It is kind of like a, dyslexia 101 text book. If you are looking for something with a little more direction, this is the book for you.
