REVIEWS
"Most books about dyslexia focus on the
mechanics. Kurnoff looks at the people behind the learning difference,
and offers tools and guidance for success."
RICHARD BRANSON
FOUNDER AND CEO,VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS
"Finally, a book that paints the reality
of dyslexia. A wonderful exploration of people's ability to succeed
despite the challenges they meet along the way. A must read for
anyone impacted by this learning difference."
PAUL J. ORFALEA,
FOUNDER AND CHAIRPERSON EMERITUS, KINKO'S INC
"Dyslexia doesn't spell doom! Families who worry about a
dyslexic child's future prospects will find the stories of college
students particularly revealing. Shirley Kurnoff's (MA '95) candid
interviews with dyslexic students, their parents and siblings
from around this country and the United Kingdom, offers readers
a support system by sharing experiences and strategies for counteracting
a condition that affects 10 percent of the population."
STANFORD UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE
"Kurnoff's book, The Human Side
of Dyslexia, helps parents see how to tap the wonderful strengths
of their children. It also offers pragmatic steps for problem
solving at each section's end. A very nice feature of this book
is the discussion of how siblings feel. While the title implies
a book on dyslexia, its message also work for parents of children
with any kind of learning disability."
KATHLEEN ROSS-KIDDER, PH.D. DIRECTOR, LD ONLINE WETA TV FACULTY,
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
"This new book will certainly be helpful
to those searching for comfort and word-of-mouth ideas about
how to deal with LD across the life span. Written in a straight-forward
and honest style, the author's decision to include often overlooked
accounts of the impact of LD on siblings and family members,
makes this a welcome and valuable resource."
