This comprehensive guide offers a panoramic view of dyslexia research and practice, bringing together international experts to examine literacy development, inclusive education strategies, and learning differences. The collection tackles dyslexia from multiple angles—cognitive, educational, and social—making it an essential resource for understanding this complex learning profile.
