Review by:British Dyslexia Association (BDA)'Contact Magazine.
Specialists in dyslexia are well aware of the plethora of cures and remedies available to anxious and vulnerable parents; in this book Practical Strategies for Living with Dyslexia, Maria Chivers makes a valiant attempt to document them.
