We used to just call them clumsy, but now we know that Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a very real neurological condition that has a profound effect on a child's life. This is not simply a case of someone with 'two left feet' but pervasive impairments of memory, organisational skills, social competence. This book provides clear insight into the nature of DCD or Dyspraxia, and offers very practical suggestions and strategies for how to effectively support students with this condition. On average there will be at least one of these students in every classroom, but as with so many conditions, there will be other students in the class who have some of the same characteristics, but to a lesser degree, who will also benefit from these strategies. Paraprofessionals and other education personnel will find this book invaluable.

Very accurate and helpful

This book is excellent at describing the traits and needs of people with dyspraxia. As a parent who has raised a son with dyspraxia, I can confidently say the descriptions were spot-on. It felt as though the author was describing my child directly. I highly recommend this book not only to paraprofessionals and teachers but especially to parents and relatives of children with dyspraxia. It provides invaluable insight and understanding that can make a real difference in supporting a child’s growth and confidence
