Detailed information

The Psychology of Dyslexia is an introductory text for teachers undertaking a training course on Dyslexia. The book is based on Mike Thompson's lecture course to the Dyslexia Institute's Postgraduate Diploma in Dyslexia and Literacy. Although primarily for teachers the book will be of interest to other professionals, such as Speech Therapists, who are undertaking a course on dyslexia, as well as parents of dyslexic children. The book covers the basic psychology of, for example, memory, neuro-psychology and reading development, followed by these topics application to Dyslexia.

Dr Thompson is a Chartered Psychologist as well as Principal of East Court, a school for dyslexic children, and the book provides the background to the assessment of dyslexia as well as to theoretical topics. There is a guide to further reading at the end of every chapter.
