Coping with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and ADHD: A Global Perspective
uniquely incorporates dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD into one volume,
offering practical advice on how to manage each of these disorders.
McBride combines a solid research base with interviews with specialists
in learning disabilities, as well as parents, teachers, and students
with personal knowledge of each difficulty from six continents.
The innovative cross-cultural focus of the book is emphasized in the
introduction, which is followed by one chapter each on the basics of
each of these learning difficulties and another three chapters on their
remediation. The book goes on to cover topics such as comorbidities
across learning or other difficulties, learning of multiple languages,
facilitating self-esteem, and enhancing reading comprehension and
writing composition in the face of dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD.
Appendices with short, practical tips on learning, multi-media
resources, and ways to test and train cognitive-linguistic skills are
included as an additional resource.
Coping with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and ADHD: A Global Perspective is
intended for practitioners, teachers, parents, and those with any or all
of these learning difficulties. University or postgraduate students who
wish to understand more about dyslexia, dysgraphia, and/or ADHD will
also benefit from the clear analysis. With this book, the reader will
not only come to understand the fundamental nature of these learning
difficulties, but will also get to know the people whose lives are so
deeply affected by them.
