5.0 out of 5 stars
Great information in a reader friendly format,
This review is from: Dyspraxia: A Guide for Teachers and Parents (Resource Materials for Teachers) (Paperback)
It is hard to find information on this still greatly under-diagnosed disorder. This book is a great find for parents or teachers! It is a fast read and well organized, covering a lot of ground with no fluff filler. I recommend this book if you are looking for an understanding of this disorder and some great "treatment" ideas that are easily implemented in both the home and school. Worth the money and your time to read!
