Coping with Dyspraxia(Out of Print)
by Jill Eckersley
It is thought that up to 1 in 10 people suffer from dyspraxia to some degree, with 2 per cent of the population being seriously affected. Until recently, many cases went ignored and children with dyspraxia were dismissed as naughty and clumsy.
Dyspraxia makes physical co-ordination difficult and can affect children’s ability to do certain activities such as learning to write, tie shoelaces and PE lessons. In adulthood it can make the simplest everyday task difficult, such as using a tin-opener or having a bath. For some, even speaking clearly is problematic.
In Coping with Dyspraxia, Jill Eckersley explains what dyspraxia is, its effects and how to cope with it. The book covers all stages of life from childhood, through adolescence, to adulthood. She looks at the causes and conventional treatment, and explores whether complementary therapies can help.
