5.0 out of 5 stars A very practical guide!, July 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Developmental Coordination Disorder: Hints and Tips for the Activities of Daily Living (Paperback)
This book clearly shows Ms. Balls' knowledge and experience in this field, and unlike many other titles, is written absolutely with the parent/carer in mind. There is no jargon, just pages of common sense approaches that apply not just to children who fall within the diagnosis of DCD, but for many other children who struggle to concentrate, sit still or just take part with their peers. It should be read, not just by parents, but by all child carers who are interested in providing the best possible care for the children they work with.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing for the Price, November 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Developmental Coordination Disorder: Hints and Tips for the Activities of Daily Living (Paperback)
The price was too high for what was given in my opinion. I felt like I got a $4.95 scholastic book for my child. Refers to products not readly available in the US. Very disappointed.
