Dr Nola Firth is also the co-author, with Erica Frydenberg, of Success and Dyslexia: Sessions for coping in the upper primary years to be released in October 2011, as a new edition to ACER’s specialist education suite. Success & Dyslexia is a unique, evidence-based program that assists all upper primary students, but especially those with dyslexia, to increase their ability to take control of and cope well with the problems that occur in their lives.

This publication is an essential companion for teachers, audiologists, speech therapists and parents. The extensive range of flexible reinforcement activities can be tailored to address individual needs and an accompanying DVD contains interviews, role plays, useful resources and weblinks, as well as handouts for classroom use.
