'Dyslexia in the Digital Age is a very useful book for dyslexics and others with specific learning disabilities, and for those who work with them. It provides many practical suggestions about hardware, software and presentation of information, and explains concepts in clear, non-technical language. No dyslexic or service provider to dyslexics should be without it.' Professor Linda Siegel, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada

'Dyslexia in the Digital Age should prove an invaluable tool for anyone working with children and adults with dyslexia. It provides a wealth of information on what is available to facilitate expert performance. I particularly liked the author's recommendations!' Professor Angela Fawcett, Director, Centre for Child Research, Swansea University, UK

This book takes a bold step into the Digital Age of Dyslexia and considers both the advantages that the use of new technologies will bring to support people with dyslexia and also the challenges they face in accessing learning resources. Contrary to the naïve view that the use of ICT is a solution to dyslexia, the book makes plain that this is a complex field but one that is worth exploring for its potential advantages. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book (and the accompanying web-based resources) will be an important resource for students with dyslexia and dyslexia specialists in all inclusive education settings.
Professor Maggie Snowling

'The book is a goldmine of useful tips and suggestions...Do I recommend this book to others? Most definitely, yes. It should be in the reference sections of university libraries for a start...It should also be on the reading list of all postgraduate specialist teacher trainees, not to mention their tutors!'

'Not one of those books about IT that is dated by the time it is published... An excellent book, useful for more years than most IT books and a delight to read thoroughly or to dip into.'
