About this book

A research-backed guide to supporting dyslexic learners

Dyslexia For Dummies gives families and educators a clear roadmap to understanding and addressing language processing challenges.

You'll discover structured literacy approaches, learn about early screening options, and get actionable intervention strategies that really work. Plus, you'll find a primer on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans to help you advocate effectively for the support your learner needs.
