Dyslexia in Context

This book highlights the most recent developments in the area of
research, policy and practice. All the authors are well known in
the field of dyslexia and they will offer significant contributions
at the forthcoming BDA conference ' Dyslexia: the dividends from
research to policy and practice' to be held at Warwick University
in March 2004.

In addition to the opening chapter, which provides an overview
of developments in dyslexia, there are also chapters on the
research associated with neurological factors, the cerebellum,
genetics and the links between research and practice.

The policy section provides insights into policy developments
from Europe, the UK and the United States, as well as polic
developments relating to both children and adults. The practice
section is comprehensive with chapters on multilingualism, the
range of specific learning difficulties, ICT, mathematics, the
implications for the classroom from the science of learning and the
features of dyslexia friendly schools.
