This informative, practical book is intended to help parents and teachers with innovative ideas that they can use to encourage and support children to improve motor skills. It looks at every stage, through early years at home, at nursery school, primary and secondary school and into adulthood.
With information about causes and symptoms given in simple terms, as well as information about diagnostic procedures and the characteristics of the condition, Amanda Kirby shows that while dyspraxia cannot be cured, it can be overcome and its effects minimised. With the aid of this book a parent can ensure that their child is equipped with strategies to lead as normal a life as possible.
