That's the Way I Think Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADHD Explained

David Grant

Reviews for previous edition:

NEW

Amazon customers give it 5 stars ... here are some of the comments: This book is a brilliant introduction to understanding the many aspects of Dyslexia and Dyspraxia and how these are often linked.’

‘Hooray! A book about dyslexia and dyspraxia that doesn’t require three readings of each sentence to get the gist of what is meant. Refreshingly free of jargon, this book should still appeal to professionals involved with people who have dyslexia and dyspraxia, as well as family members.’

February 2010: 216 x 138: 136pp Pb: 978-0-415-56464-9: £15.99 www.routledge.com/9780415564649

‘ I have a son who was diagnosed with Dyslexia and Dyspraxia so thought this might be an easy going read, as I had previously had some very in depth books to read up on the background. It was exactly what it said on the cover.’

Many people with dyspraxia and dyslexia also have ADHD. This fully revised edition of David Grant’s thought-provoking, insightful book develops our understanding of specific learning differences and considers the further challenges presented by these overlapping conditions.

As well as providing information defining Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADHD, That’s the Way I Think addresses topics including: • colours and reading

• becoming creative

• sports, genes and evolution

• ‘invisible’ girls and women.

The accessible style of this book, which includes numerous anecdotes and personal insights, will immediately strike a chord with anyone who has first- or second-hand experience of these specific leaning differences.

An essential and enlightening reading for people with specific learning differences as well as their parents and/or partner, this book also provides an invaluable insight for teachers, teaching assistants and SENCos.

Play for Children with Special Needs

NEW

Supporting Children with Learning Differences, 3-9 Christine Macintyre Christine Macintyre emphasises the importance of creating an environment where children become confident, independent learners, increasingly able to use their imaginations, care for others and to take safe risks. This fully revised edition of Play for Children with Special Needs includes new research findings and explains their implications for practice.

This book then enables those supporting children to: • understand the benefits of play and how to adapt different scenarios to support children who do not find it easy to play • observe children as they play so that any difficulties can be identified early • analyse different play areas so that the different kinds of learning (intellectual, creative, motor, social and emotional) are appreciated.

Debating Special Education Michael Farrell

NEW

Debating Special Education is a provocative yet timely book examining a range of criticisms made of special education in recent years. Michael Farrell analyses several key debates in special education giving balanced critical responses to inform policy and practice for the future of special educational needs.

The book identifies possible limitations to the current special education knowledge base and provision. Michael Farrell examines the value of labeling and classification, and asks if intelligence testing may have detrimental effects; and addresses a number of complex issues such as: • how practitioners work within special educational needs; and if, sometimes, professionals may be self-serving • whether there is distinctive provision for different types of disabilities and disorders

• inclusion as mainstreaming offered as an alternative to special education, and the challenges this presents.
