The book makes use of illustrations by people who experience the relevant learning characteristics themselves, and they support the text very well. It is refreshing to see them within the text. To this reader they make an unusual statement that the author not only knows about the value of multi-sensory work, but respects it and applies it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADHD – The Common Ground \u003cb\u003e2.\u003c\/b\u003e What is Dyslexia? \u003cb\u003e3.\u003c\/b\u003e What is Dyspraxia? \u003cb\u003e4.\u003c\/b\u003e What is ADHD? \u003cb\u003e5.\u003c\/b\u003e What is Dyscalculia? \u003cb\u003e6.\u003c\/b\u003e Visualisation and Synaesthesia \u003cb\u003e7.\u003c\/b\u003e Colours and Reading \u003cb\u003e8.\u003c\/b\u003e Being Creative – or Becoming Creative? \u003cb\u003e9.\u003c\/b\u003e Sports and Genes \u003cb\u003e10.\u003c\/b\u003e Invisible Girls, Invisible Women \u003cb\u003e11.\u003c\/b\u003e Sleep \u003cb\u003e12.\u003c\/b\u003e Neurodiversity and Concluding Remarks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019459920215,"sku":"9781138126220","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/thats-the-way-i-think-9781138126220","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
