"What an amazing book! Ginny Stacey has been extraordinarily productive during lockdown with her series of 4 books. Here we have everything you could possibly need to find your voice as a dyslexic/ SpLD; impeccably organised in a series of mind maps and boxes to dip into. My dyslexic husband loved the plan!" —Angela Fawcett, Swansea University, UK"Finding Your Voice with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is practical, personal and positive about dyslexic strengths, as well as providing ways to overcome the pitfalls. It offers a valuable balance of ideas, anecdotes and theory to enable the reader to work out the best ways to use their own individual thinking patterns." —Alex Brown, Specialist SpLD Support Tutor & Dyslexia Assessor, Member of Oxford SpLD Tutor Group, UK
