A comprehensive introduction to dyspraxia with quick and easy e- links to relevant information on the Dyspraxia Foundation website. The book covers, diagnosis, what dyspraxia is and isn't, its impact, movement difficulties, family issues, visual learning difficulties, support strategies and more. This is an excellent and inexpensive book for those starting out on their journey with dyspraxia, but equally is excellent additional information for anyone interested in the condition, with prior knowledge, or who supports someone with the condition. It avoids complicated jargon and is a really accessible book which can be read as a whole or dipped into as needs arise. It is the only book to date with a detailed chapter on visual learning difficulties written by an expert in the field.
The books author, Gill Dixon lives with three family members with the condition who are diagnosed from mild to severe. She is also a nurse and a teacher and so offers a unique perspective with a foot in health, education and as someone directly affected by the condition. Gill has written two other books on dyspraxia and is currently Chair of the Education Panel and Trustee of the Dyspraxia Foundation. All proceeds from this book will go directly to the Charity in a bid to help it continue its excellent work. A welcome addition to any bookshelf and it will enable the reader to appreciate that dyspraxia is very much more than just a motor difficulty. It is a complex and subtle condition that impacts on every aspect of a person’s life. ... See MoreSee Less

This toolkit was developed by the Dyspraxia Foundation for parents/carers of young people with dyspraxia (also known as developmental coordination disorder – DCD), a condition that affects gross and fine motor coordination in children and adults and that can also affect speech, organisational and planning skills, memory and perception. The toolkit offers a wealth of information and practical suggestions to help parents address the daily challenges experienced by children with dyspraxia/DCD at home, at school and in their leisure activities. The techniques and tools included in this toolkit will help parents/carers build their child’s independence and resilience, ensuring they can reach their potential in all areas of life. Chapters include information about dyspraxia/DCD; accessing professional help; how parents/carers can help at home; working in partnership with schools; supporting your child’s wellbeing; and supporting your child’s participation in social and leisure activities. This toolkit is essential reading for parents/carers of children who have dyspraxia/DCD, for parents/carers of children who are waiting for an assessment, and for parents/carers who are concerned about their child’s motor/organisational development and who want to do something ‘while they wait’ for professional assessment or support. ...

Today is the last day of an amazing Dyspraxia Awareness Week. It has included: the launch of our survey results; three new information sheets and a poem; a celebration of creative talents in London; a prestigious event in Solihull where we presented an award on behalf of the Prime Minister along with a talk to 60 guests; a webinar on self esteem and behaviour; a talk on dyspraxia in the workplace; fundraising around the country for Fundraising Friday; a presentation of a £3k cheque and moving stories of real life experiences shared throughout the week. Without doubt, the highlight has been coverage on the Victoria Derbyshire programme which aired yesterday. Thank you to all those involved in the planning and delivery of the week, trustees and admin team, speakers and presenters, fundraisers, those who sent in case studies or joined us at events, webinars or as a new member and all who liked and shared our campaign. Special thanks to the two families and adult with dyspraxia who volunteered to join trustee Dr Sally Payne on the show at incredibly short notice. Thank you to these boys, big and small who were the face of #dyspraxia, Reuben, Lucas and Mark. #dyspraxia17 Eleanor ... See MoreSee Less
