A Practical Guide to Support Children with Dyspraxia and Neurodevelopmental Delay (Meeting Special Needs) - Softcover

The educational and emotional impact of Dyspraxia on a child is often treated as the poor relation in education, with teachers having inadequate training in how physical development affects learning and how to help. This book describes in simple terms the features and effects of Dyspraxia, directing teachers and parents to a range of resources for the assessment and remediation of associated problems. --Sally Goodard Blythe, Co-Director of the Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP)

A very readable book ... information includes facts about dyspraxia, three case studies and the suggestions and activities to support the child and its parents. The information provided is well researched and up to date and includes a section on neurodevelopment. Useful age-related motor milestones are suggested along with resources to enhance the development of motor skills within the Early Years curriculum. [This book] would appeal to all staff who work with children of 7 and below. [It is] practical, supportive and clearly based on the authors own successful experience. --Special Needs Information Press, May 2010
