Your Voice with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is an essential guide to living with the various specific learning difficulties. The book provides readers with a practical guide to expressing and developing ideas and feelings.



Your Voice with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is the first book in the series Living Confidently with Specific Learning Disabilities (SpLDs). This book is an essential guide to living with the various specific learning difficulties. The book provides readers with a practical guide to expressing and developing ideas and feelings.

Uniquely designed for dyslexic/ SpLD readers, this book discusses how individual people function and will help enable those addressed to:

•understand how they think

•know what they can do to maintain clear thinking

•know how they can positively contribute to any situation in which they find themselves.

When people with SpLD find their voice, they gain the self-esteem and confidence to tackle all elements of life. The book contains stories, insights, examples, tips and exercises presented in a user-friendly way throughout. The book does not have to be read as continuous text from start to finish: it can be read more like a travel guide; each chapter includes a ‘dipping-in’ section to guide the reader.

As well as providing vital assistance to dyslexic/ SpLD people, the book will benefit anyone supporting, living or working with dyslexic/ SpLD people by helping them to understand more of the dyslexic/ SpLD world.
