Media Reviews
Dyslexia in the workplace is a detailed and comprehensive guide with 5 helpful Appendices. This guide is equally useful for employers, dyslexia professionals and dyslexia workers. (Dyslexia Contact, 3 September 2011) A good book and one I would like to keep on the shelf and will certainly wish to refer to again. (Dyslexia Review, 1 July 2011) This is a well written and thoughtfully structed book, and one which deserves a wide readership. (RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal, 1 February 2011) This book is a must-read for all professionals who work with dyslexic employees as well as to dyslexic employees themselves. I strongly recommend it. (PATOSS Bulletin, Summer 2011) Dyslexia in the WorkplaceA is a very useful guide. Whereas it can be read from cover to cover, the format also allows the reader to dip in and find the parts they want to refer to. It is very clearly set out and its accessibility and explanatory approach make it a reassuring read as well as an enlightening one. Each chapter ends with further reading in the companion volumes for those who wish to find out more. (Dyslexia Review, Summer 2011)
