Format:Paperback
We bought this book to find out more about dyspraxia and the effects on those it touches. It is really a genuinely good introduction to this condition but doesn't go into enough depth. It covers alot of ground but fails to explore areas in enough detail. As an general introduction to dyspraxia it is good, but thats as far as it goes.

Format:Paperback
This book offers a good basic insight into Dyspraxia and DCD, and offers suggestions for strategies and ways to cope with the condition. Open, honest and easy to dip into; it helps parents and students alike to understand some of the complexities of Dyspraxia, and offers some suggestions for alterntive conditions.
Although there are newer books (this one is a re-print of 1999, and with a slightly different cover to that shown), this book neverthless has some exellent points. As a parent and a teaching student I have found it a great addition to my collection. Others such as Kirby's newer works are more detailed in terms of brain development, but this one offers holistic advice for the whole family without the worry of the associated heavy jargon.
A nice easy read.

I found this book extremly interesting. I myself am dyspraxic and reading this book it felt like I was reading my own biography. Amanda Kirby writes this book both as a professional and a parent, and manages to intertwine both perfectly. I also found this book interesting, as I am a trainee teacher and I believe this is a must read for all teachers. This book answered all my questions about dyspraxia. It is my honest believe that anyone in education or who has dealings with kids should read this book.
