Abigail Marshall

Abigail Marshall is the author of Autism and the Seeds of Change, When Your Child Has ... Dyslexia, and The Everything Parents Guide to Children with Dyslexia. As a parent of a son who once struggle with dyslexia, she discovered a wide gulf between the academic and scientific view and the day-to-day, practical realities of parenting or teaching a child labeled with a learning difference. She is interested in writing books that help bridge that gap; that provide direct, usable information in language that can be understood by lay readers, that is open to new ideas, and includes an objective and grounded perspective on relevant scientific research. Abigail also manages and writes content for several web sites, including www.dyslexia.com and www.everythingdyslexia.com. She is a parent of two, grandparent of one, and lives in California with two feisty but loving terriers.
