A work on dyslexia and mathematics that includes: discussion of the thinking in the field - ideas on dyscalculia; information from a survey of primary school children; guidance on suitable testing material; and, innovative contributions on practice.

The aim of this text is to present help to teachers who are not very confident of their own understanding of mathematics, but want to give some basic help to dyslexics and others in particular areas needed by them. The chapters contain separate topics with clear explanantions of the content to be taught, suggestions on how to teach it, exercises with answers and a list of helpful materials and software.

Part Two is for the secondary pupil, who is under much pressure from classroom neeeds; priorities are therefore suggested and a plan of approach for helping is outlined.
