Coping with Dyspraxia
Coping with Dyspraxia
By Jill Eckersley - a Sheldon Press book
Dyspraxia affects as many as one in ten people and makes physical co-ordination difficult. Children with dyspraxia may find it hard to learn to write, tie shoelaces and join in with PE lessons. For adults, simple everyday tasks such as using a tin-opener or having a bath, playing sport, or speaking clearly can be problematic.
The good news is that the condition is being diagnosed more
effectively, and much earlier, than in the past, and that there
are lots of practical things you can do to help make life easier.
Jill Eckersley explains what dyspraxia is, its effects and how
to cope with it, from childhood, through adolescence, to adulthood.
She looks at the causes and conventional treatments, and explores
whether complementary therapies can help.
