Format:Paperback
We were recommended this book by a parent of a child with dyspraxia, and it is brilliant. The title explains it all - it clearly sets out the condition itself and its impact and implications; and then it gives lots of pragmatic, useful advice on how to help the child and family cope with it.

So many of these books seem to be written for professionals to understand and are really hard going, but not this one. I found it very informative and learnt things that I didnt know, even though I thought I had read a lot. It uses real case studies and also has some "tests" you can use on your children at home. I would recommend it to parents and carers who are just starting out on this journey. I gave it to the grandparents to read too, dyspraxia is a very difficult thing to describe! Its also useful for Teachers too.

I found the book very user friendly. I particularly liked the check lists. It is suitable for both parents and teachers of children with dyspraxia.
