First published 2000
Ellen Morgan centers her exploration on dyslexic adults and their daily experiences in education, employment, and personal relationships. She draws from real case studies and first-person accounts to illustrate how dyslexic thinking patterns affect adult life. Morgan examines the diagnostic process and addresses controversial aspects of adult dyslexia assessment. The book presents practical strategies for managing dyslexic challenges while highlighting cognitive strengths that dyslexic adults bring to their work and communities. Morgan argues that societal changes in the 21st century may shift how we understand dyslexia and create new opportunities for dyslexic contributions. The book offers teachers, employers, career counselors, and family members concrete tools for supporting dyslexic adults in various settings.
