Book Reviews of Dyspraxia: The Hidden Handicap (Human Horizons Series)

Book Review: Useful practical guidance and support
Summary: 5 Stars

This book was extremely helpful. It was the first I've seen that addressed the issues faced by adults with dyspraxia, not just children, though it has much helpful advice for children and parents as well. Written by the mother (who's also a doctor) of a dyspraxic son, it's filled with practical, common-sense solutions, right down to hygiene hints, clothing suggestions, daily menus, and shopping lists. I wish America were as up-to-date with this disorder as the British are, but I'm grateful that there's somebody out there to help with this frustrating, often embarrassing, and little-known issue.

Summary of Dyspraxia: The Hidden Handicap (Human Horizons Series)

This informative and very practical book is intended to help parents and teachers equip children with dyspraxia, or developmental coordination disorder, with the strategies that will enable them to live as normal a life as possible with this hidden handicap. Examining the developmental path of the child through the early years at home, at nursery school, grade school, high school, and into adulthood, it offers special tips on how to encourage children with dyspraxia to improve their social skills and develop a strong self-esteem. Included is information about the causes and symptoms of dyspraxia, characteristics of the condition, diagnostic procedures, and a glossary of terms.
