O knihe

The Turnabout Programme is a self-help book for the parents of children with dyslexia, attention deficit disorders and other serious learning difficulties. Throughout the book are the heartwarming stories of children and adults who had been given up as hopeless cases by educationalists and psychologists and who have achieved success through this programme.

The basis of the book is a series of simple to administer games and exercises - with full explanations, that enhance visual and auditory perception and memory skills, which are fundamental requirements for reading, writing and spelling.

Based upon the uniquely successful work of Dr Carol Goldfus and supported by the latest research, this book offers hope for those failed by traditional methods and it gives parents the opportunity to change their child's life chances.

The book is in four sections:

Section one describes The Turnabout Programme, how it developed, and why it has been so successful with people who have dyslexia or attention deficit disorder, including those with hyperactivity.

Section two explains the underlying causes of dyslexia and of attention deficit disorder and the principles behind the programme. This non-technical and supportive explanation helps parents to better understand their children's difficulties.

Section three describes The Turnabout Programme of learning games. These make use of music, colour, dice and other familiar objects, are straightforward to administer, and do not require any specialist knowledge or prior training.

Section four advises parents how to plan and manage the process of training their child. It also focuses on rebuilding the self-esteem of teenagers after years of disappointment and provides a ten-point plan for encouraging the young person, now with improved capacity to learn, to rejoin mainstream academic life.
