Summary

The book has combined a focus on both cognitive coping strategies and socio-emotional techniques for overcoming negative emotion. As such, the book has built on work completed for Dyslexia in Higher Education: Anxiety and Coping, but rather than aiming to raise awareness of the prevalence of anxiety and negative emotion, the book instead has focused on expanding the research undertaken on effective cognitive and emotional techniques used by dyslexic learners. This has enabled provision of a pragmatic, study skills development book for the purpose of supporting students with dyslexia to deal more effectively with their study tasks and learning experiences whilst at university. Consequently, the book’s main themes have focused on the presentation of strategies for overcoming barriers prevalent for the dyslexic learner both cognitively and emotionally. These have included ways in which technology can be utilised, making learning multisensory, applying practicality to study tasks and exemplifying the dyslexic learners featured in the book favourite ways of studying to make learning enjoyable. These have been presented with the aim of improving metacognition and metacognitive awareness, helping to reduce scotopic sensitivity, and ultimately have been intended to help the reader to cope with academic life cognitively and emotionally.
