Excellent 14 May 2010
Format:Paperback
The description at the beginning precisely describes our younger daughter - I have copied it and given it to her teachers, so that they understand the problems they are creating by expecting her to do certain activities. It is an excellent book and deals with all the activities that we just "did" with our older daughter, but find we cant do with our younger dayghter - if you want to help them ride a bike, roller skate etc - its great for ideas, and realising you are not unique!

Helpful, practical, charming 5 April 2008
By Gail F. Hoskins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a great little book. Its refreshing to find such practical, sensible advice on this topic. I have found it so useful and as it is pretty much "jargon free" it is very accessible to people like me. I will be recommending this to others.
Not what I'd hoped for 10 Mar 2010
By Casandra J. Vandermeulen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read a couple books on Dyspraxia, and this would probably be my least favorite. There are some ideas for kids to "get playing" but mostly outdoor. I would reccommend The Out-of Sync Child Has Fun FAR MORE!!!!!
