Many people with dyspraxia and dyslexia also have ADHD. This fully revised edition of David Grant¿s thought-provoking, insightful book develops our understanding of specific learning differences and considers the further challenges presented by these overlapping conditions.
New sections explore mental imagery [visualisation] and synaesthesia, enabling the reader to gain a fuller understanding of the sensory experiences and thoughts of individuals with specific learning differences.
As well as providing information defining Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADHD, That¿s the Way I Think addresses topics including:
colours and reading becoming creative sports, genes and evolution ¿invisible¿ girls and women.The accessible style of this book, which includes numerous anecdotes and personal insights, will immediately strike a chord with anyone who has first- or second-hand experience of these specific learning differences.
Essential and enlightening reading for people with specific learning differences as well as their parents and/or partner, this book also provides an invaluable insight for teachers, teaching assistants and SENCos.
