摘要:"The Study of Dyslexia was envisaged as a theoretical companion volume to Dyslexia in Practice: A Guide for Teachers, (Townend and Turner, eds., 2000) which together would gather the best of current knowledge and practice in dyslexia studies. This would benefit those - but not only those - many individuals who train with the Dyslexia Institute, acquiring a postgraduate certificate and diploma with our higher education partner, the University of York."--Jacket
