Maria Chivers, founder of the Swindon Dyslexia Centre, knows the heartache and frustration experienced by parents of children with learning difficulties.
Things don't have to be that way, is her message. Learning difficulties are slowly being specified and recognised, and medical and educational help developed.
To get this help for your child you need to know how to make the system work for you. Maria Chivers draws on expert knowledge to show how you can make this happen.
Many learning difficulties, once identified, can be overcome. If your child has, or you suspect they might have, learning difficulties, this essential guide gives you the facts you need to take action.
Key Points

Up-to-the-minute facts and practical advice enable you to:
• Pinpoint exactly what is wrong with your child
• Communicate with teachers and others in authority
• Assess your child's rights
• Choose the right education from the options available
