Editorial Reviews

This book is an easy read. It encourages those with dyslexia to believe in their abilities and not to listen to the negativity that is connected to dyslexia. This book is an encouragement for everyone struggling with some form of a disability to be an overcomer.

Amazon - Camilla (Baby Girl) Fowler

This author has forged a path where differences are not just tolerated or accommodated, but positioned in such a way as to highlight strengths that accompany dyslexia, such as the ability to think outside the box...and how those strengths can be leveraged allowing one to excel in the tech.

Goodreads - Joslyn Jewell

Technical Difficulties offers a fresh perspective on such an important hot topic - diversity on tech. This book adds value to the conversations around diversity and accessibility in tech and can provide insight for educators, leaders in the tech industries and parents.

Goodreads - Renee Arthur

This book is exceptional!! I found it fascinating to learn about the important use of technology merged with dyslexia.

Goodreads - Sandy Dorsey

As an educator who has directly worked with students with dyslexia, I enjoyed this read. It's quick but informative, detailed and understandable. This is a great resource to those folks out there who really want to understand how to support their employees in the workplace. This is also excellent for those dyslexic employees in the workplace who seek to understand their accommodations to find success! Download this book now!
