Dyslexi & inlärningssvårigheter

En dyslexidiagnos kan för både barn och vuxna vara en lättnad. Ett slut på många år av dålig självkänsla och ångest över att inte klara det som alla andra kunde i redan i första klass, över att bli betraktad som lat eller lite korkad av en oförstående omgivning. Men måste det vara så?

I den här boken skriver logopeden Hanne Uddling pedagogiskt  om dyslexi utifrån sin yrkesmässiga erfarenhet, modern forskning och otaliga möten med barn och unga som fått diagnosen. Hon gör upp med fördomar om läsning och intelligens, tipsar om hjälpmedel och beskriver sin drömskola där kunskapen om dyslexi är självklar och alla barn får rätt stöd utifrån sina egna behov, i rätt tid.

Grattis, du har dyslexi riktar sig både till dig som nyss fått veta att du har dyslexi och till föräldrar, lärare och andra vuxna som möter barn och ungdomar med dyslexi. I boken blandas exempel ur verkligheten med förklarande och fördjupande texter, som fungerar utmärkt att läsa och prata om tillsammans.

Here is a practical, compassionate book parents can turn to when they first recognize that their child has a "problem" –– but aren''t sure what it is or where to seek help.

At this very moment, millions of children across the U.S. are falling behind in school, acting out impulsively at home, having problems making friends, suffering dramatic mood swings, and more. Their parents are frustrated and afraid, aware that something''s wrong, but not sure where to turn for help or how to cope with their child''s behavior. "Is it a learning disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorder, or some combination?" they wonder. "Are these moods and behaviors normal or abnormal? Will my child outgrow them?"

This book by a noted neuropsychologist explains the different and overlapping symptoms of learning, mood, and behavior disorders and guides parents in getting the right diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Newby demystifies the process and empowers parents. Step by step, he explains:

––How to observe and chart your child''s behavior––a critical diagnostic tool

––What to expect during the evaluation and treatment process

––How to partner with medical and school professionals to assist your child and what to do when conflicts arise

Clear and comprehensive, this supportive guide will be every parent''s first line of defense in helping a troubled child.
