Zusatztext "This impressive volume provides us with the most up-to-date research available on a disorder that affects millions....it is a very good book, and if the science it reports leads to improved interventions that help mitigate dyslexia (and perhaps also literacy), that will be a very good thing." - PsycCRITIQUES Informationen zum Autor Glenn D. Rosen Zusammenfassung This proceedings volume is based on a symposium sponsored by The Dyslexia Foundation (Will Baker, Founder and President) held at Lake Como in September 2004.
