The SAGE Handbook of Dyslexia

Edited by:


December 2008 | 528 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
The SAGE Handbook of Dyslexia is a comprehensive overview of a complex field. It is a rich, critical assessment of past and present theory and current research, which also looks to the future. The editors have brought together key figures from the international academic world - both researchers and practitioners - to examine the relationships between theoretical paradigms, research and practice, and to map new areas of research.

The book has 5 main sections:

- neurological/genetic perspectives

- cognitive and learning perspectives

- educational influences

- beyond school

- international perspectives.
