Aprašymas

Difficulties with reading and writing only begin to explain the problems that face adults with dyslexia. The shame and battered self-esteem that result from years of struggling with this frustrating, misunderstood (or even undiagnosed) learning disability can pose even greater obstacles than upside-down vowels and jumbled sentences. In Dyslexia in Adults, author Kathleen Nosek offers answers to both these dilemmas. In clear, concise language, she outlines simple plans for accommodating or compensating for the limits of dyslexia and encourages the discovery and development of individual learning and working styles. The methods she explains for sorting through the feelings associated with dyslexia and correcting the self-defeating behaviors they often produce give dyslexic adults the chance to unravel the knot of emotional chaos they endure and restore order to their lives.
