Our son was given a diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder by two different doctors--but we were not given any information about what that meant! This book has been one of the most helpful in understanding coordination disorders and how to deal with them. It gives helpful strategies for helping specific areas, for instance balance or motor planning or mealtimes. One suggestion, that electric toothbrushes are easier for some children, especially those with oral sensitivity, was worth the price of the book to me--toothbrushing is no longer an ordeal! The book is fairly short, so is easy to read and easy to refer back to.`

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is a must read for any parent, teacher, or therapist that works with children. It has wonderful examples of activities to do with children based on the difficulties they present with. Highly recommend this book!

This is a very easy to read book with a lot of good information and ideas. I would recommend this book to therapist, parents, and others interesting in Motor Skills in children.

nice size of book, best for therapists in their early careers. good ideas for home and therapy needs.
