Dr. Phyllis Books has spent over twenty-five years disproving the idea that dyslexia is a permanent condition. Having worked with thousands of children, parents, and educators, she has shown that children labeled “dyslexic” can successfully overcome their learning disabilities.
In her practice and lectures, she offers not only hope but also the means for parents to see for themselves that change is possible. In this, her first book, Dr. Books presents an easy-tounderstand guide to her methods and the combinations of therapies available to help children conquer dyslexia. Reversing Dyslexia is divided into three Parts. Part I establishes the framework for determining the nature and cause of your child’s problem, and discusses the limitations of “old style” thinking about dyslexia. Dr. Books explains what dyslexia is and what it isn’t, and explores issues such as ADHD, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, and autism spectrum disorders. She also offers insight into emotional side effects such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and aggression. Part II explains how the brain works and how it affects learning and behavior. It looks at why some of the current “tried and true” methods of treating dyslexia fail to affect it at the causal level, and simply keep the problem alive. It then explores new alternative approaches and explains why they can work. Part III discusses what you can do at home to help your child. The author includes practical strategies and exercises that can yield immense changes in your child’s attitude, ability to learn, and level of self-confidence. As a parent, it may seem overwhelming to deal with the everyday challenges of bringing up a child with learning disabilities, and at the same time negotiate a school system that fails to respond to your child’s needs. This book is designed to help you understand the cause of your child’s problem and improve not only his ability to learn but also his emotional health and well-being.
