It is estimated that up to twenty percent of the population in the United States is dyslexic, many of whom are undiagnosed. This presents specific academic and psychosocial challenges for children, their parents,
and teachers. Yet, with the right perspective and understanding of how dyslexia can affect a child 1s development, barriers to learning can be minimized. Parenting Dyslexia provides prescriptive
advice and concrete tips to drive educational and personal growth while working to sidestep
associated stigma, effectively anticipating issues that dyslexic learners are likely to confront at
different stages of their education. Among the host of tools and approaches included are:

- Establishing family practices to prevent a child's feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression
- Cultivating skills to balance out dyslexia's deficits
- Developing effective self-esteem and academic habits to help overcome hurdles

This practical, relatable, comprehensive, and easy-to-use guide is grounded in science and
offers a wealth of effective methods for supporting dyslexic learners, written by a psychologist
who has been there herself and has specialized in learning differences for over twenty-five years.©2025 Dr Lisa Rappaport and Jody Lyons (P)2025 Headline Publishing Group Limited
