Writing is a solitary affair, and that's something I enjoy most of the time. Of course, I equally enjoy the company of my young and older students.

I started working as a speech therapist in 2000. Thirteen years later, I wrote the first book. I wanted to share the knowledge and personal experience I have gained over the years. I have not stopped writing since then, and at the same time, I continue to practice my profession. One complements the other. The children show me the way, and I join them in easy and challenging paths.

Plutôt très bien

Support acheté pour ma fille de 9 ans presentant une dyslexie sévère qui est assez contente des petits exercices jeux. En tant que parent petite remarque sur le côté dématérialisé du support , une option d'impression pourrait être proposée pour plus de facilité d'utilisation.

Percezione visiva per bambini con dislessia | Parte 2 : Rapporto figura/sfondo

Li trovo interessati e facilmente consultabili. Ricoprono un largo raggio d'azione in relazione alle tematiche di riferimento e facilmente sottoponibili ad un'utenza qual'è quella dei bambini. Infatti le card risultano essere comprensibli, chiare e si possono sottoporre in maniera ottimale sia al pc che attraverso cartaceo. Anche la formulazione delle domande permette è comprensibile. Mi auguro di essere riuscita ad esprimere attraverso poche righe una valutazione positiva sul prodotto acquistato.

Dyslexia Guidance

I found this Book, Visual Perception Skills for Children with Dyslexia | PART 2: Visual Figure-Ground Perception, to be very informative. The activities are great - colourful, diverse, targeting specific areas of dyslexia. I am using some of the activities with some students to try to assist them in their learning journey. Even being aware of the different aspects of Dyslexia has been an eye opener to me. I have also bought Part 1 and used some of the activities in it. Great resource!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review! We highly appreciate your detailed positive feedback and are very pleased to hear that you have found this resource helpful!
