Summary

Through their wide experience of working with students of dyslexia, Tim Miles and Dorothy Gilroy are able to offer useful and practical advice to students about how to get the most from their college experience and the kinds of support which are available. They also provide teachers with the information which they need in order to meet the needs of those students more effectively. In this edition of their well-known text, they have thoroughly up-dated and expanded the original material. The book now takes account of the many advances and discoveries which have been made in the knowledge we have about dyslexia today. It also takes account of changes which have taken place within colleges and universities.
