Adult Dyslexia

Unleashing Your Limitless Power

De: Cheryl Isaacs

Narrado por: Cheryl Isaacs

Dyslexia affects one in 10 adults, yet most of the information available focuses on children and on what people can’t do (the deficit model). My work with thousands of adults with dyslexia and neuro-differences has shown me the key to success is having practical strategies for any weaknesses and an in-depth understanding of how to use your unique strengths.

This inspiring book will: 1) enable you to understand your strengths and what to do about your weaknesses, 2) give you different ways of viewing intelligence and help you realise your unique abilities, 3) give you an understanding of how the brain works and how to get the most out of your cognitive profile, 4) outline real-life case studies for a deeper understanding of how dyslexia affects people and what strategies they use to reach their full potential, 5) explain how personality differences affect how you think, lear,n and work, 6) encourage you to take action, develop your confidence, and achieve great things. I have personally narrated this book to give you a firsthand account of my experiences and insights. I hope you enjoy it.

Jk. But really great read! Very much needed this. I was not diagnosed until I was 25, and had grown up thinking “i am smart, just not in certain ways” literally thinking i had reached the cap of my intelligence, and that those moments I were drawing blanks was my very finite potential. This is a reminder that we just need to come at the drawing board a little different, and recognize our strengths.

Discuss practical tools to address common challenges

The only thing I didn't like was the narrator. She read the information all in one tone.

Wonderful Resource

This book is not just another academic or clinical treatment of dyslexia. It is more like a suggestion or guide book for real people. Ms. Isaacs gives real life examples of what people with dyslexia experience, and then practical advice and strategies to identify and emphasize strengths to compensate for weaker areas or skills. She doesn't treat dyslexia like some kind of handicap or deficiency. She shows how existing skills can be used and developed to improve performance. She also gives some basic but very helpful suggestions for dealing with day-to-day performance issues that are common among people with dyslexia. This is a very genuine book in the author's own voice. It is clear that she understands and wants to help. It is a wonderful resource.

Demystifying dyslexia

This book opened my eyes to what dyslexia and neurodivergence really are. It’s a short book that goes right to the point and is very accessible with relatable examples along the way. Even if you’re just looking for practical tools to help navigate a busy complex life this is worth the time to read and absorb.

The techniques for checking your work.

Again the techniques. I was familiar with most, but not all, of them. The book should get an update as AI will will be making a positive impact in this area.

Really does help

Most books give you fluff this one really does to solve the issue or give realistic advice and ideas on dealing with the issue.

Informative, compelling, easily digestible

This was a great read! Complex ideas are presented in an easily digestible way. It’s jam-packed with valuable information and strategies that I will use in my daily life. 5/5 stars all around!

Just fair

Her accent is very strong, and at times seems to not annunciate her words clearly, making it more difficult to understand what she is saying.
Im knew to learning about dyslexia, it seemed like a good gernal overview, mostly related to work and homework related situations.
