Comprehensive handbook for teachers and parents answering the important questions about children with dyspraxia
Maureen Boon recently retired as Headteacher of Vranch House, an independent school for children with physical disabilities in Exeter which provides therapeutic interventions for children with movement and associated disorders such as cerebral palsy and dyspraxia. She has worked with children with movement disorders for over thirty years, and previously taught in primary schools.
The author clearly demonstrates her experience and empathy with the
many issues which parents and teachers may encounter with people
with dyspraxic difficulties... The book (...) provides clear
examples, illustrated with photographs of interventions, strategies
for movement and day to day living. Additionally, the appendices
also provide useful starting points for those less familiar with
basic hard copy and online resources.

read and the clearly defined chapters make it easy to find
particular information...The descriptive case studies throughout
were a particular highlight to both myself and the parents.`
