Beating Dyspraxia with a Hop, Skip and a Jump

By encouraging children with dyspraxia to take part in an easy and fun exercise programme, teachers and parents can help them to overcome their symptoms, enjoy physical activities and become as active as their friends and classmates.

Geoff Platt's highly effective programme aims to improve strength and fitness by focussing on familiar activities such as running, jumping and ball play.  These simple exercises can be taught by anyone and no specialist supervision or equipment is required.  This book demonstrates how regular exercise routines that are tailored specifically to the needs of children with dyspraxia can make a real difference, eliminating weakness by improving muscle activation, neural control and overall movment skills.

This practical guide will be an essential reource for parents, physical education teachers, and other teachers of recreation and games classes who are looking to help children with dyspraxia.
