Dyspraxia Developmental Co-ordination Disorder
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is an outstanding book. It is extremely helpful and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a child that has been diagnosed with developmental dyspraxia. I only wish I had discovered it 10 years ago. Now we are playing catch-up but it provides very helpful information for our family and is teaching us how to make our child's life easier.
Useful practical guidance and support
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book was extremely helpful. It was the first I've seen that addressed the issues faced by adults with dyspraxia, not just children, though it has much helpful advice for children and parents as well. Written by the mother (who's also a doctor) of a dyspraxic son, it's filled with practical, common-sense solutions, right down to hygiene hints, clothing suggestions, daily menus, and shopping lists. I wish America were as up-to-date with this disorder as the British are, but I'm grateful that there's somebody out there to help with this frustrating, often embarrassing, and little-known issue.
Your "clumsy" distractible child's hidden issues:How to Help
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If your "ADHD" child is "uncoordinated", "clumsy", "distractible", learn how these features differ from ADHD qualities. The dyspraxic child may have fine and gross motor issues, visual or auditory perceptual difficulties, poor body awareness or propioception. A British pediatrician with a dyspraxic son outlines the educational and social challenges facing children with this "hidden handicap" and offers parents and teachers practical suggestions for home and school support.
