Beth's Dyslexia Book
Beth’s recent book, Dyslexia: A Universe of Possibilities is now available at Amazon.com and other online booksellers. In this unique text, Beth combines scholarship and a compassionate, first-person perspective to highlight a path forward for students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other neurodiversity.

Beth Cottone knows whereof she speaks, whether she is speaking or writing about children and education. She can say about more things than most of her colleagues “been there, done that.”
