Reviews
A brilliant book that takes the complexities of dyspraxia and makes it understandable. A very good introduction to the disorder for kids, families, and teachers alike. Brilliant! -- Warren Fried, President and Founder, Dyspraxia USA This is a beautiful, thoughtfully presented book about dyspraxia. A perfect read for children (or parents) who are new to dyspraxia and the challenges and strengths that come with it. -- Alison Patrick, author of The Dyspraxic Learner and The Memory and Processing Guide for Neurodiverse Learners Genuine, insightful and respectfully written. Kathys classic gentle humour and gorgeously awkward imagery make for the perfect introduction to dyspraxia. Ive no doubt this book will prove to be a valuable resource for people starting their journey. -- Kylie Cox, BSN. Autistic, mother of four Autistic/dyspraxic children, co-founder of The Experience Collectors. Kathy has captured the intricate characteristics of dyspraxia, an additional, yet common diagnosis in neurodiverse individuals, in a fun and easy to understand format suitable for both children and adults. This book would be a wonderful resource in any classroom. -- Kirsten Harpley BFA(VisArts), GradDipEd, MEd(InclEd) MAutismSt This is a wonderful book that clearly describes the life of my child. Dyspraxia is so misunderstood. This book really helps to understand and explain exactly what it means and how it is for the person. What a great read! Gorgeous pictures too! I love it. -- Helen Green, Mum to a child with dyspraxia
