Dyslexia

About the Book

.

This book is unique due to the groundbreaking new research  what was carried out over four years with top psychologists and the author  on dyslexia, this untold mystery explains why there are problems in this specific area and tells you about the pit falls it can course and how to overcome them successfully. I say unique because this book along with in-depth research proves that dyslexia is a mystery to individual academics who have their own perceptions on what dyslexia is and confuse not only dyslexic people but schools, colleges, and universities, not quite knowing which is the correct way to treat it, or teach it. Gary is dyslexic with his own experience on living with dyslexia and how he developed the true meaning so read below about his findings….

 The book was written by a severe dyslexic man who left school with a reading age of six years, it addresses the problems he faced throughout school and looks at his employment options. It addresses the research he carried out with Prof Rod Nicolson, and Prof Angela Fawcett. Over four years it explains the findings of the research and the importance of them and which would help academics, students, and parents, on how to address these problems. Gary’s understanding of dyslexia is quite unique. Over the last 10 years he has been proactive in the world of dyslexia and working with schools, colleges, and universities, to help to explain the condition. The book explains how he develops “internal speech” going through a program which he developed himself. The book goes through the ups and downs of Gary’s life. In the book there are interviews of some of the people who took part in the research.

About the Author

Professor  Rod Nicolson

I have known Gary  for four years now, and have had the pleasure  of working closely with him in attempting to investigate his conviction that dyslexic adults ( children)  suffer from a lack of ‘inner voice’ – the language of thought. Having learned to speak out loud in their first two years, children spend another four years or so learning to ‘internalise’ the speech, that is to be able to ‘talk in their head’, and this forms the basis of thought. Quite how this happens, and what format inner speech takes remains a mystery even now – in my view one of the most important issues for cognitive psychology.  . if a child has not developed an effective inner speech before he or she is taught to read, this may well have an adverse effect on the learning process. It is surprising that this key issue has been ignored in the science of reading instruction. If Gary is right, it would have a major impact on education theory and practice. I encouraged Gary to write this book because I felt he had much to contribute. :  His weak inner speech means that he cannot remember what he has just read. It is therefore not surprising that the book lacks structure in some parts. The strength of the book is its very immediacy. There is something in this book for everyone.

Professor Angela Fawcett,

The author of this book, Gary , who came to
a conference on dyslexia to challenge our academic preconceptions, may well be
the most colourful character I have met in the dyslexia world
