How can we better support and promote inclusivity for those living with Dyspraxia?
Documenting her journey from childhood and diagnosis to adulthood, author Kimberley Marie Fraser explores the challenge she has faced living with Dyspraxia. An invisible disability with challenges that evolve as life progresses, Kimberley highlights areas where her life has been affected, including education, employment, and well-being, and argues that it is not the disability itself, but a lack of awareness that leads to frequent misunderstandings and inadequate support for many.
Offering learnings from the author’s lived experience, this book is ideal reading for students of Disability Studies, Psychology, Sociology, and Education. Guidance and suggestions to support inclusion across society are provided, and relevant for anyone who lives and works with or alongside people with Dyspraxia, including teachers, employers, and social care and support workers.
