This book is fantastic! If your looking for a book thatexplains dyslexia and how to cut through the red tape at school, thisis the book. I finally found some answers to my questions aboutdyslexia and what I need to do to get my child help. Ms. Nosek's bookis very parent friendly. She gives you wonderful advice in a step bystep fashion. I found the most useful part of the book to be thesection on the federal laws (she gives you the public law number)thatthe schools must obey. I finally know what my rights are! You shouldread this book if you are having any problems getting your childservices. I think it would be useful to any parent of a child with alearning disability.

A few days ago I had my gut instict confirmed, my son has a reading disorder. I found this book and even though I have already started the process to get him "services" from our public school prior to obtaining this book I still had to buy it because just flipping through it I ran into several "aahh's" or "red flags" as Ms. Nosk refers to them. I knew it would answer all my new questions (in layman terms) regarding my son and his education. And let me tell you, I have almost finished it (I have had it less than 24 hours) and I could not be more pleased! I highly recommend this book for a parent of an elementary school child who is looking for confirmation of their gut instinct in regards to their childs reading.

This book was great for some new ideals but I needed more information for 504 - dyslexia. This is a great tool for parents beginning to deal with school systems for Special Education. You will need this book. Thanks

I wrote this review in Learning A Living, A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia:

Written mostly for parents, but has a few sections written specifically for the person who has dyslexia. The strength of this book is the clear step-by-step directions for activities such as obtaining and receiving an educational evaluation, advocating in the schools, applying for college, and obtaining accommodations for learning disabilities.

it was very helpful in my needs for my son and another child whos parents are fighting with the school for their child.
