Description
Drawing on decades of expertise alongside a large dataset of assessment results, this book offers an integrated, lifespan perspective on dyslexia and its lasting effects. It reframes dyslexia as an information processing difficulty, with working memory weakness at its core, leading to cognitive overload in learning, work, and everyday life.
Aimed at individuals with dyslexia as well as educators, coaches, counsellors, and career advisors, the authors provide practical, evidence-based recommendations for managing associated challenges with a particular focus on strategy development and the use of assistive technology.
Bridging neuroscience, cognitive psychology and educational psychology, the text promotes scientific understanding of dyslexia in all its manifestations.
Dyslexia and Working Memory by Alan Martin and David McLoughlin is an essential resource for those seeking to explore these themes and apply them in practical settings.
