Helping Children with Dyspraxia
Authors: Maureen Boon
Synopsis: Dyspraxia is a descriptive term
used for children who have co-ordination difficulties. Although many
dyspraxic children are of normal intelligence, they may have difficulty
organizing or carrying out movement, speaking clearly or expressing
ideas. This work begins by answering the questions commonly asked by
parents about behaviour causes, diagnosis and assessment, before going
on to discuss theraputic inventions. Drawing on her extensive experience
working with dyspraxic children and liaising with their mainstream
schools, the author shows how the theraputic approach can benefit this
group and how parents and teachers can actively participate in the
child's therapy. Information is provided, along with ideas for parents
and teachers wanting to improve the child's movements and language
abilites and thus increase their self-confidence and self-esteem.
