“This is an excellent overview with valuable information. As a teacher who has taught students with dyslexia for over 20 years, I recommend this book. It is written clearly and makes a topic that can be complicated easier to understand.”

“This book will be welcomed by everyone who has dyslexia, and by parents and professionals who work with people with dyslexia. It is also a great book for anybody who wants a solid introduction to techniques and technologies that can improve study habits and lead to greater academic achievement.

Dr. Nuttall knows what he’s talking about. He is, himself, dyslexic, a condition, he says, that was at first misdiagnosed, since he is also legally blind. This book reminds me of those other books written by scholars who have been afflicted with the disorders they write about: Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, a Yale psychologist with bipolar disorder, Dr. Temple Grandin, a Colorado State University professor with autism, and Carlton Davis, the internationally known architect, with bipolar disorder. In each case, as in the Nuttalls’ book, we learn from persons who have been there, who have conquered or are conquering their afflictions, and are generously telling the rest of us how they do it.”
