Parenting Dyslexia By Lisa Rappaport, Jody Lyons AudioBook Summary
A licensed psychologist and authority on dyslexia (who is also dyslexic herself) offers a practical guide to help parents and others support dyslexic learners throughout their school years.
Fifteen million children in the United States have been diagnosed with dyslexia. This learning disability is a major challenge not only for the kids, but also for their whole support network. Dyslexia doesn’t have to be a disadvantage for kids, if the right tools are available. Parenting Dyslexia provides prescriptive advice and concrete tips to drive educational and personal growth without any associated stigma. An easy-to-use, comprehensive reference book for anyone caring for a dyslexic child to use at all stages of development, Parenting Dyslexia addresses the psychosocial and academic issues that dyslexic learners are likely to face at different stages, including:
·Cultivating varied skills to balance out classic deficits.
·Developing effective self-esteem and academic habits to help overcome age-specific hurdles.
·Establishing individual and family practices to prevent a child’s feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression.
·Survival tools to navigate the predictable challenges a dyslexic learner will likely encounter.
·Nurturing independence as well as a child’s ability to ask for help and become a strong self-advocate.
