Studying

Rereading notes and highlighting give the impression of learning, but other methods have proven their worth, such as testing yourself and spreading revision over time. The resources in this topic present these techniques and how to apply them, for pupils and students as well as for the parents who support them.

Specific learning disorders: a therapist's manual

A practice guide, without numbered sessions, for psychologists and psychiatrists who encounter dyslexia, dysorthographia and dyscalculia, from childhood to adulthood. Remediation falls to other professions; this manual describes what falls to you: identifying the difficulty, ruling out other explanations, assessing and reading an assessment report, giving the diagnosis, judging progress by reliable change, treating anxiety, depression, school refusal and suicide risk, coordinating with the school and following the person through transitions. What the classifications say, what the French word "dys" covers, what research establishes, what has not proved its worth, eight worksheets and full references.
