Dyslexia and College Success

By James Nuttall and Maria S.E. Johnson

Adjusting to college from high school is difficult; add to that the struggles with reading, writing, and confidence due to Dyslexia, and the situation can feel impossible! This book is specifically for that student and their transition to college. Written by two individuals with dyslexia and dysgraphia who have successfully navigated the college experience, it provides a unique first hand perspective on attending college with these limitations. They share personal experiences and advice, approaching challenges with assistive technology and reasonable expectations, and cover reading, writing, studying, learning a foreign language, self-esteem, and social life. Additionally, you, the reader, will find dozens of software applications reviewed - such as Voice Dream Reader or FineReader Pro, in order to help you know what will work best for you. Whether you have a PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device you will learn how to use that device to aid you in your scholastic success. The suggestions in this book will help a majority of dyslexic students cope with the demands of college or university work.
