Synopsis

HOW TO HELP young people manage physical coordination challenges and flourish…

Sometimes called ‘dyspraxia’, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a frequently under-detected condition that chiefly affects physical coordination but also impacts on many other areas of life. It is often seen as an ‘enigma condition’ due to the lack of consensus regarding definitions and terminology. However it is described, it is critical for professionals and families to understand and support the issues and challenges experienced by the individual, rather than focusing on a ‘label’.

Part of an exciting new series of books examining issues commonly faced by today’s young people at home and at school, Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia) provides a practical, jargon-free guide to helping individuals achieve greater independence and participation at school and in daily life. Seeking to dispel myths about DCD, experienced occupational therapists Sue LLoyd and Laura Graham explore the issues and challenges commonly faced by a young person affected by the condition – and show parents, carers, teachers and schools HOW TO HELP.
