5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read as an introduction to dyspraxia., 10 April 2001
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful starting point!, 24 Feb 2006
By Mrs. A. Allison "treaclesmudge" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Helping Hand to me and my son., 30 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This book helped so much with my son, it gave guidence and confidence to look into Dyspraxia. My son was diagnosed dypraxic 10 years ago but then no one new much about it. Now (even though he is older) he he has been helped by The Dyscovery Centre of which Dr. Kirby runs. When I first met here she was so helpful and now with help from her and colleagues my son is being helped. I would just like to say that this is an excellent book which helped me so, so much!
