"Dyslexia doesn't spell doom! Families who worry about a dyslexic child's future prospects will find the stories of college students particularly revealing. Shirley Kurnoff's (MA '95) candid interviews with dyslexic students, their parents and siblings from around this country and the United Kingdom, offers readers a support system by sharing experiences and strategies for counteracting a condition that affects 10 percent of the population."
STANFORD UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE
"Kurnoff's book, The Human Side of Dyslexia, helps parents see how to tap the wonderful strengths of their children. It also offers pragmatic steps for problem solving at each section's end. A very nice feature of this book is the discussion of how siblings feel. While the title implies a book on dyslexia, its message also work for parents of children with any kind of learning disability."

"This new book will certainly be helpful to those searching for comfort and word-of-mouth ideas about how to deal with LD across the life span. Written in a straight-forward and honest style, the author's decision to include often overlooked accounts of the impact of LD on siblings and family members, makes this a welcome and valuable resource."
