West's "In the Mind's Eye" is one of the most important and insightful books ever written on the critical and critically neglected question: What is dyslexia (and related learning challenges) really all about? West provides critical evidence that the neurological variations that produce the reading, writing, spelling, arithmetical, and other challenges associated with dyslexia, are neither the only nor in a crucial sense the core features of dyslexia, but are in a way incidental accompaniments of a pattern of brain organization that can also create very real advantageous.
West documents much of the growing body of work that supports this hypothesis, and he does so in a beautifully lucid and engaging fashion. Amazon.co. This fully updated third edition contains practical and useful advice that will be invaluable for students with dyslexia, their parents and all of those involved in teaching and supporting them in their studies.
Including the latest research into dyslexia, changes in legislation and information technology and the real-life experiences of six former Bangor students this book will: • guide students through the process of applying for university, suggesting strategies for general organisation and for particular aspects of study • outline how to get the best personally and academically from higher education • give practical advice on setting up and using support facilities (both human and technological) • be an accessible text for mainstream lecturers and tutors who need to be aware of the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act.
New chapters include 'Dyslexia plus', giving information on dyspraxia, attention disorders, Asperger's syndrome, and the more controversial 'dyscalculia'. Amazon.co. Amazon.co. Amazon.co.
