Understanding and supporting children with Dyspraxia / DCD

An inclusive therapeutic PE programme to develop motor skills in young children.

There are growing numbers of children displaying the symptoms of more than one condition or disorder, and this has led to those involved in education needing to understand which conditions commonly overlap or co-exist, and how to meet children's more complex needs.

Through practical strategies, the authors show how teachers can make all the difference to a child's ability to succeed in the classroom, and case studies show how parents, teachers and therapists can work together to facilitate learning.
