Reviews

This book takes a bold step into the Digital Age of Dyslexia and considers both the advantages that the use of new technologies will bring to support people with dyslexia and also the challenges they face in accessing learning resources. Contrary to the naive view that the use of ICT is a solution to dyslexia, the book makes plain that this is a complex field but one that is worth exploring for its potential advantages. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book (and the accompanying web-based resources) will be an important resource for students with dyslexia and dyslexia specialists in all inclusive education settings.
