Dyslexia and inclusion : assessment and support in higher education / Marion Farmer, Barbara Riddick and Christopher Sterling

Includes bibliographical references and index

This text reflects issues relating to the assessment and support of students with dyslexia within universities and other institutions of higher education. It considers how current practice in relation to higher educational provision for this group can be developed to facilitate inclusion. The text presents the results of a series of qualitative and quantitative studies which investigate the coping, adjustment and perceptions of students with dyslexia and the attitudes, perceptions and support strategies of academic and supprot staff within the university sector who are concerned to improve the educational experience for all students. It should also be of interest to teachers in secondary and further education who are preparing students for higher education entry. Researchers in the area of dyslexia and the students themselves should also find much to increase their understanding of this complex aspect of individual development
