"This is the type of book that should be written more often. The complex subject-matter of dyslexia and the nervous system, including such complicated issues as laterality, are explicated in such a way that is intelligible for all. This is no small feat." --Medisch Contact"No longer should there be any question that severe developmental reading disorders (dyslexia) are of neurological origin. Based on a long tradition of research, this book summarizes the literature on how dyslexics' brains may differ in patterns of cerebral lateralization and how these differences may manifest behaviorally. This book is unique for several reasons. First, this volume is a translated version of the original book published in Dutch. Thetranslation is extremely well done and the text is rich with illustrations and comprehensible discussions of the author's work . . . Second, this book is unique because it is the first one available thatsuggests a treatment program based on recent research and validated through the author's own work . . . This book should assist greatly in stimulating further research aimed at assessing the validity of this treatment approach." --Contemporary Psychology
