The Dyslexia Help Handbook for Parents: Your Guide to Overcoming Dyslexia Including Tools You Can Use for Learning Empowerment (Learning Abled Kids' How-To Books for Enhanced Educational Outcomes)

I am sure the book is a good one however it was more technical than I was hoping for

I purchased this awhile ago and hadn't had a chance to really read it. When I finally did, I was shocked and the great deal of detail provided in the book of really great resources. For those new to the process of IEP's Cook does an excellent job of describing what its like day in and day out of managing school conflict while trying to meet your childs needs, if you haven't encountered that yet and use this book as a resource up front, you'll be ahead of the game. For those who have dealt with the songs and dances of the districts many times, you will appreciate the honest feedback and information on how to manage such things while not losing your mind. In addition to honest to goodness tools, Cook spells oit exactly what dyslexia is and isn't and to what extremes of dyslexia you are dealing with, and what tools on the market are more for other types of diagnoses than dyslexia as marketed. Extremely helpful book. I am going to be highly recommending this book to my Decoding Dyslexia group. When you read the book I recommend having your highlighter handy to direct you to key tools you can use. There's a ton!!! I can't say enough great things about this book and highly recommend it to any parent whose child has been diagnosed or is undiagnosed dyslexia.

I am very impressed with the author, her tenacity, spirit and drive. It is VERY encouraging to see someone who has found a solution to this problem and is willing to help others.

Very enlightening, helpful for a parent.

I usually don't leave reviews due to lack of time, but for this one, I have to. This is a little GEM. Small but pack of GREAT information. My kids are not dyslexic, at least not that I know of right now since they are 3, but I read this to use the information to teach my kids to read and I think this is a good book for even parents with no dyslexic kids. HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!!!!!
