Dyslexic And Self-concept Seeking a Dyslexic Identity

This book addresses the important area of dyslexic childrena? s perception of themselves and how this is shaped by people and processes within their early school careers.It draws upon hitherto neglected psychological concepts such as self-efficacy, locus of control and learned helplessness to explain within a social-interactivist framework the powerful effect of self-perceptions on the social, emotional and academic development of dyslexics. Techniques for assessing these factors are described and research evidence is provided to demonstrate how a sense of dyslexic pride associated with positive academic outcomes can be achieved.The book is aimed at teachers, teacher-trainers, parents and academics researching developmental aspects of dyslexia, but combines scholarship and research in a manner that makes it accessible to adult dyslexics also.Burden, Robert is the author of 'Dyslexic And Self-concept Seeking a Dyslexic Identity' with ISBN 9781861564832 and ISBN 186156483X.
